Kyrylo Dryshlyuk

As part of the Ukraine squad that won the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup, he played five matches including the final against South Korea, an achievement that earned him the Order "For Merit" III degree and the title of Master of Sports of Ukraine, International Class. It capped a run through the youth ranks that also brought caps at U18 and U19 level, the latter including the 2018 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.

His club career started at Dynamo Kyiv's academy before a move to Zirka Kropyvnytskyi, where he made his professional debut in April 2017. A transfer to Oleksandriya followed in 2018, interrupted by a loan spell in Latvia with Spartaks Jūrmala over the 2019-20 winter before he returned to Oleksandriya. In February 2023 he joined Zorya Luhansk on a free transfer.

That switch to Zorya brought his first senior medal: a bronze finish in the Ukrainian Premier League in the 2022-23 season. He remained part of the squad through 2023-24, making 12 league appearances as Zorya finished tenth, well behind champions Shakhtar Donetsk.

The senior national team has so far stayed out of reach. In a 2021 interview, Dryshlyuk spoke about being overlooked for selection under manager Andriy Shevchenko, a gap that has yet to be filled despite his pedigree at youth level.
