FBU Secretary General: Agreement Reached for Mykhailiuk to Join in July

The Secretary General of the Basketball Federation of Ukraine (FBU), Volodymyr Drabikivskyi, has announced significant updates regarding the national team roster for upcoming matches, confirming that Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk will join the team in July.

Volodymyr Drabikivskyi, the Secretary General of the Basketball Federation of Ukraine (FBU), has shared important news concerning the composition of the Ukrainian national basketball team for their future matches. According to Drabikivskyi, there is an agreement in place for Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk to join the team in July. This information was first reported by Tribuna.com and has since been confirmed by the Ukrinform agency.

Drabikivskyi pointed out that the situation surrounding Alex Len remains somewhat unclear. He expressed doubts regarding Len's participation, as Len has indicated that he is not opposed to playing but not at this moment. This raises certain concerns, as the national team requires all of its best players for a successful campaign in the qualification for the 2027 World Championship.

Regarding another player, Shulha, Drabikivskyi also expressed that his participation depends on the resolution of certain issues. Currently, Shulha is under a ban and cannot play for the national team until this problem is resolved. However, according to the FBU Secretary General, Shulha has a strong desire to play and is a very positive individual, which could serve as an additional motivation for his return to the team.

Additionally, Drabikivskyi mentioned Kobzistyi, who is also expected to play a significant role. All these players are crucial for forming a competitive team that must fight for a spot in the World Championship.

It is worth noting that Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk and Alex Len have yet to have the opportunity to play for the Ukrainian basketball team in the qualification for the 2027 World Championship. Their absence has been due to various circumstances that complicated their participation in previous matches. The lack of key players like Mykhailiuk and Len could significantly impact the team's performance in upcoming games.

Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk, a well-known Ukrainian basketball player, has considerable experience playing at the international level, making his return to the team particularly important. His involvement could be a decisive factor in achieving success on the international stage.

Fans remain hopeful that all issues currently preventing the players from joining the team will be resolved, allowing the Ukrainian national team to compete at full strength. Supporters are eagerly awaiting news about the final roster and the team's preparations for crucial matches.
