Andriy Shevchenko scored 48 goals in 111 caps for Ukraine, and it was during his years in the side that the team reached the quarter-finals of the 2006 World Cup — the only time Ukraine has qualified for the tournament.
The national team had existed for barely a decade and a half by then. It came together once Ukraine had been admitted to UEFA and FIFA in 1992, after the Soviet Union broke apart, and Anatoliy Tymoshchuk, who won 144 caps between 2000 and 2016, more than any other player, carried the side through the years around that quarter-final and long after.
Ukraine matched that result at the European Championship in 2020, again reaching the quarter-finals. The Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex in Kyiv is still listed as the team's home, though the war has forced Ukraine to play its home fixtures in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia instead.
It began on 29 April 1992, in Uzhhorod, against Hungary — a 1–3 defeat, and the first match a Ukrainian side had played under its own flag.
