The Ukraine national under-20 football team is primarily a special team that is formed for the FIFA U-20 World Cup after a successful performance of the Ukraine national under-19 football team. The team is also used as an immediate reserve of the Ukraine national under-21 football team. In the 2019 FIFA U-20 World Cup Ukraine won their first title in the nation's history after defeating South Korea 3−1 in the final. They remained champions for almost 4 years, being that the 2021 edition was cancelled due to COVID-19 until they failed to qualify for the 2023 edition in which Uruguay won and became champions.
It is formed by its head coach who is appointed and directed by the Ukrainian Association of Football, the governing body for football in Ukraine.
