ROSES FORWARD JOINS UKRAINE FOR WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS

Forward Tanya Boychuk has been selected by the Ukrainian national team for the upcoming European World Cup qualifying window. She will face Iceland and Spain in two crucial April fixtures.

Boychuk will join the Ukrainian squad from April 5-19 for a training camp and two qualifying matches. Ukraine will face Iceland on April 14 in Reykjavik, then reigning world champions Spain on April 18 in Cordoba.

Ukraine is competing in League A alongside Spain, England, and Iceland. The group winner will qualify directly for the 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup in Brazil. Other teams will advance to playoffs to secure one of the remaining European spots.

The Ukrainian squad, led by head coach Volodymyr Pyatenko, reached League A for the first time after winning their Nations League B group.

Boychuk will rejoin the Roses following her international duty. The 2026 Northern Super League season begins April 25. The home opener takes place Friday, May 2 at 7:00 PM at Stade Boréale against Vancouver Rise FC. Season tickets start at $21 per match at en.rosesmtl.ca/tickets.

The Montréal Roses wish Tanya all the best with the Ukrainian national team.
