Oleksiy Kashchuk made his debut on the Ukrainian national team

Oleksiy Kashchuk, a winger for Azerbaijan’s “Qarabağ,” played for Ukraine’s national team for the first time. This marks his debut with the national team.

 

A product of Donetsk’s “Shakhtar,” he made his debut for the “blue-and-yellows” at age 26. He became the 357th player in the history of the Ukrainian national team. Kashchuk is also the first player from the Azerbaijani Premier League to play for the national team.

Previously, the winger played for Ukraine’s youth national teams. Kashchuk has played for the U-17, U-19, U-20, youth, and Olympic teams. There, he played under the guidance of only two coaches—Oleksandr Petrakov and Ruslan Rotan.

This season, Kashchuk has played 18 matches across all competitions. The winger has scored five goals and recorded one assist. The Ukrainian’s contract with “Qarabağ” runs through the summer of 2027.
