Yevhen Khacheridi (Ukrainian: Євген Григорович Хачеріді) (born 28 July 1987 in Melitopol, Soviet Union) is a Ukrainian footballer. He plays as centre back for Dynamo Kyiv in the Ukrainian Premier League.

Personal life

Khacheridi's father is ethnically Greek, so he cheered for the Greek national football team in the UEFA Euro 2004.[2] Khacheridi is currently a student at the Melitopol National Pedagogical Institute, where he is studying to be a physical education teacher. He only needs one more course to graduate.[2]

International career

He made his international début for Ukraine against England on a 1-0 victory for Ukraine, in Dnipro Arena on 10 October 2009, playing as centre back.[3] He also played in the last group-stage game against Andorra in Andorra La Vella, on a 6-0 Ukrainian victory. Ukraine ended up 2nd in the group, behind England, so they played against his ancestral country Greece. The first game in Athens finished 0-0.[4] However, Ukraine couldn't obtain a place on the 2010 World Cup final stage, because the second leg, played in Donbass Arena, ended in a 1-0 Greek victory, with a goal scored by Dimitris Salpigidis.[5]
