The Ukraine student football team debuted in 1995 in Japan.[3] The team was mainly based on FC CSKA Kyiv (not to be confused with its contemporary FC CSKA-Borysfen Kyiv) that was recently promoted to the 1995–96 Ukrainian Second League.[3] The team was led by Volodymyr Lozynskyi and Volodymyr Bezsonov reached semifinal where it lost and later for the third place it also yielded to Russia student football team (based on FC KAMAZ Naberezhnye Chelny).[3] The Ukrainian forward Pavlo Matviychenko with 5 goal tallies became the top scorer of the tournament in Japan.[3]
