VASCHUK about the Ukrainian national team: “The problem is that they cannot be united”

Former Ukraine national team defender Vladislav Vashchuk evaluated the modern national team’s chances of participating in the 2026 World Cup:

“I think all the players in the Ukrainian national team are very strong individually. The problem is that they cannot be united. They won the last match and showed how they can play. So if they don’t play like that against the Swedes, everyone will see: ‘Can you play? Why didn’t you play?’

It can also be said that this is a limit that they have crossed. They pushed themselves and showed everyone, and above all themselves, what they could do. “First of all, if they play together like they did in the last game, they will be a good and classy Ukrainian team when they reach the World Cup.”

According to the draw results, the Ukrainian national team will face Sweden in the semi-finals of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in March, and if it reaches the final, it will face the winner of the Poland-Albania duo.
