Viktor Bliznichenko

Viktor Bliznichenko was signed by the Kyiv club in 2017 after coming through at Dnipro. He stayed registered with Dynamo's first-team squad from 2021 to 2024, but the whole of that spell was played out elsewhere, on loan.

The loans gave him his first taste of senior football. In 2022–2023 he made nine Ukrainian Premier League appearances for Inhulets Petrove, and the following season he moved to Kryvbas Kryvyi Rih, where he played eleven league matches and scored once. That Kryvbas side finished the campaign with bronze medals, the only team honour of Bliznichenko's career so far.

With his contract at Dynamo at an end, he signed for Obolon Kyiv on a free transfer in August 2024 and became a regular fixture there, making 27 appearances and scoring twice in the 2024–2025 season. In January 2026 he joined Georgian club Torpedo Kutaisi on a free transfer, before moving again, also without a fee, to Gagra by that July.

He made his Gagra debut in the David Kipiani Cup against Aragvi in August 2026, and followed it with an Erovnuli Liga appearance against Dinamo Tbilisi the following month.

Bliznichenko's international career has so far been confined to Ukraine's youth ranks: two caps at Under-15 level and four at Under-16, both in 2017, then six appearances and a goal at Under-17 between 2018 and 2019, a spell that included qualifying matches for the UEFA European Under-17 Championship. He has not featured for Ukraine at Under-19, Under-21 or senior level.
