FIFA ranking: 24
Coach: Andriy Shevchenko
Shevchenko, who won the 2003 Champions League and 2004 Ballon d’Or as a player with AC Milan, took over as Ukraine coach in July 2016.
He led Ukraine to an unbeaten campaign in the Euro 2020 qualifiers where they finished as group winners ahead of European champions Portugal, winning six games out of eight.
Captain: Andriy Pyatov
Goalkeeper Pyatov has played 96 times for Ukraine and has been captain since 2017. The 36-year-old has won the Ukrainian Premier League 10 times with Shakhtar Donetsk.
Top player: Andriy Yarmolenko
Yarmolenko is second on the list of Ukraine’s all-time top scorers with 38 goals, trailing coach and former striker Shevchenko who scored 48 times for his country.
However, the 31-year-old Yarmolenko has had a stop-start season with Premier League side West Ham United after fitness issues and a bout of COVID-19 which resulted in his omission from the squad for the Nations League games last year.

Ukraine have never reached the knockout phase, exiting at the group stage in 2012, when they were co-hosts, and in 2016.
They finished bottom of their group in 2016 and were the only team to lose all three games.
