The Ukraine Euro 2024 squad is starting to form, after the country clinched another major tournament qualification, this time through the play-offs – after a tough campaign, for several reasons.
As well as being handed a tough group alongside England, Italy, North Macedonia and Malta, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine forced them to play all of their nominal home games in other countries. Nonetheless, they only missed out on second place based on their head-to-head record with reigning European champions Italy after both nations finished level on points with 14 apiece, claiming draws against England and (decisively, in the final game) Italy along the way.
That meant Serhiy Rebrov's side would have to go through the play-offs – where they staged a dramatic late comeback to beat Bosnia and Herzegovina in the semi-final, Ukraine, before doing similar to see off Iceland in the final for a berth at Euro 2024. There, they're joined in Group E by Belgium, Slovakia and Romania.
Like with every team, FourFourTwo will bring you all the latest on Ukraine as we report live from the European Championship.

FAQs
How many players are Ukraine allowed to take to Euro 2024?
UEFA confirmed in February that each competing nation will be able to name a final squad of 23 players in their Euro 2024 squads, including a mandatory three goalkeepers.
After a couple of tournaments featuring 26-player teams, UEFA have now reverted from the expanded squad.
National managers were allowed to bring 26 players to 2021's European Championship for the first time at a major tournament, as a special measure brought in due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the fixture congestion, the expanded squads returned for the World Cup. Without those same issues, 23-player squads have made a return.
