Team profile: Ukraine
Ukraine qualified for Euro 2016 after a win against Slovenia in play-offs. In 2012, when the team debuted on European championship, Andriy Shevchenko and co. were eliminated in the group stage. Now Ukraine is in difficult group once again, but the matches against strong teams will help the side to become stronger. It will be great success for Mykhaylo Fomenko's team if they qualify for the knockout stage.
