Sport.ua published a 35-player ranking of the greatest players in the history of Ukraine's national football team to mark the country's 35th anniversary of independence, summarized by Znaj.ua. The compilers chose 33 players — three per on-field position — and added two bonus names.
The main selection rule was a minimum of 30 caps for the national team, though the panel made exceptions for a few influential figures. The list places Dynamo Kyiv legend Oleksandr Shovkovskyi first among goalkeepers (the article notes he played 92 matches) and highlights long-serving figures across eras: Andriy Shevchenko as the top forward, Andriy Yarmolenko and Yevhen Konoplyanka among attack options, and defenders from Oleg Luzhny to the current pairing of Illia Zabarniy and Mykola Matviienko. New-generation stars Artem Dovbyk and Mykhailo Mudryk also appear.
The piece is an aggregate ranking rather than an official federation list; readers who want the full roster and player-by-player notes should consult Sport.ua directly (reported here via Znaj.ua).
