The Ukraine national football team is the national
football team of Ukraine and is controlled by the Football Federation of
Ukraine. After the split of Soviet Union, they played their first match
against Hungary on April 29, 1992.
Before that, Ukrainian players played for the
USSR national football team, with Dynamo Kyiv players often forming its
backbone (1986 World Cup, Euro 88). Some of the best Ukrainian players of
the beginning of 1990's (including Andrei Kanchelskis, Viktor Onopko and
Oleg Salenko) chose to play for Russia as it was named the official
successor of the USSR, while Ukraine didn't participate in major international
competitions until 1994. However, they achieved qualification for the
2006 World Cup, the first time for the team.
Despite having one of the best players in the world,
Andriy Shevchenko, Ukraine failed to qualify for any major championship
before 2005, three times failing at the last stage, the playoffs. It lost to
Croatia, failing to get to the
1998 World Cup, Slovenia prevented Ukraine from going to Euro 2000, and
Germany stopped them prior to the
2002 World Cup.
After an unsuccesful Euro 2004 campaign, Ukraine appointed Oleg Blokhin as the national team's head coach. This would eventually
prove to be a good move, as Ukraine went on to qualify for their first-ever
FIFA World Cup on
September 3, 2005 by drawing their match with Georgia, 1-1, in T'bilisi.
