Vera Grigoryevna Djatel (Ukrainian: Віра Григорівна Дятел; also transliterated Dyatel; born 3 March 1984) is a Ukrainian international football midfielder who most recently played for Sporting de Huelva. Beside a regular association football Djatel plays futsal variation.
She previously played for Swedish Damallsvenskan club Linköpings FC, Lehenda Chernihiv and Zhytlobud Kharkiv in the Ukrainian League, as well as Zvezda Perm and Zorky Krasnogorsk in the Russian Championship.[1]
Club career
Djatel started her football career in a small city of Horodnia near Chernihiv playing for a local sports school (DYuSSh). Sometime around 2000, she started to play for the Ukrainian major women club from Chernihiv, Lehenda and eventually Djatel ended up at the even more successful Kharkiv's Zhytlobud-1 which at that time was known as Metalist and Arsenal (WFC Arsenal Kharkiv). Before joining the Kharkiv team, Djatel already had three national titles by playing for Lehenda Chernihiv.
In 2008 Djatel moved to the Russian Federation where she played until 2015. Djatel helped Zvezda reach the 2009 UEFA Women's Cup Final with three goals in the quarter-final and semi-final ties against Brøndby and Umeå.[2] She won two Russian leagues with Zvezda.
In January 2015 Djatel joined Linköpings FC of Sweden, who had been trying to sign her for several years.[3] She suffered an injury in August 2015 and left Linköpings in July 2016 after failing to reclaim her place in the team.[4]
She moved to Spanish Primera División club Sporting de Huelva for the 2016–17 season, but agreed to terminate her contract in December 2016 after suffering from tendinitis in her knees.[5]
International career
Djatel debuted for Ukraine against England in November 2000 and later represented her country at UEFA Women's Euro 2009. A starter in all three games, she assisted Daryna Apanaschenko for Ukraine's first goal in the tournament against Denmark.[6]
