I congratulate you on qualification for Euro-2016 finals! I congratulate the whole football Ukraine on this significant achievement.
EURO-2016 won’t be our first European championship. Four years ago a lot of you participated in EURO-2012 as hosts. I really hope that experience will help you in France.
Lessons learned in EURO-2016 qualification will be also important. I believe Ukraine will reach goals set for the forthcoming tournament.
In play-offs you demonstrated courage and virile character just like throughout the qualification. I hope you’ll keep making headway and remind Europe and the whole world that Ukraine is a football state that can lay claims to top positions.
Yours respectfully,
UEFA vice president
Hryhoriy Surkis
