The first team consisted of the following players: Tetyana Ovcharenko (goalkeeper) – Olena Mazurenko, Svitlana Balynska, Olena Chubarova, Alina Doroshchuk – Tetyana Shvets, Iryna Serhiyenko, Lyudmyla Pokotylo, Halyna Prykhodko – Tetyana Verezubova, Svitlana Frishko; and substitutes: Valentyna Ryabichenko (goalkeeper) – Inesa Titova – Yulia Bayeka, Natalia Melnychenko, Lyudmyla Protsenko – Olena Vdovyka, Tetyana Vyshnyakova, Halyna Zonova.

The first major tournament Ukraine qualified for was the UEFA Women's Euro 2009 hosted in Finland.
