What is known about the soccer tournament of the Paris Games
This is Ukraine's performance in the soccer tournament of the Olympic Games in history. The team, led by Ruslan Rotan, managed to qualify for these games after a successful performance by the U23 youth team at the European Championship.
Initially, Ukrainian and foreign clubs did not agree to release most of the team's leaders for the Olympics, so the national team went to France with significant losses.
In men's soccer at the Olympics, teams consist of players no older than 23 years. Each national team is allowed to field three players who have already exceeded the U23 category.
The 2024 Games are taking place in Paris from July 26 to August 11.
We remind you that the Ukrainian national team received the first medal of the 2024 Olympics in Paris. Sabre fencer Olga Kharlan won bronze in the individual competition. To achieve this, she won four out of five matches, including a victory over Anna Bashta from Azerbaijan in the round of 16.
