The head coach of the French futsal team, Raphael Reynaud, commented on the upcoming quarter-final match of Euro-2026 against Ukraine.

“Ukraine is a team that shows almost the best futsal in Europe. It is definitely the team with the best defense and, above all, the best in the world in counter-attacking, and also with an exceptional goalkeeper.

In two passes and in less than five seconds, they are able to go from their half of the field to the other’s goal. This is a real example of its kind, with such mental and collective strength that you rarely meet.

We played a very good match in Limoges in November against Ukraine (1:3), but we faced a great goalkeeper. We have learned from this and will do everything possible to overcome this obstacle,” Reynaud was quoted as saying by L’Équipe.

We remind you that the match between France and Ukraine will take place today, January 31, at 17:00.
