Evgeniy Levchenko is a purposeful athlete, the owner of a brutal appearance and extraordinary talents. By the age of 40, the man managed to achieve a lot both in his profession and in his personal relationships.
Childhood and youth
Evgeniy Viktorovich Levchenko was born on January 2, 1978 in the village of Konstantinovka, Donetsk region, into an ordinary family. Already in childhood, the boy’s parents realized that playing sports was an opportunity for him to realize his vigorous energy. At school, Zhenya constantly received comments from teachers in his diary for restlessness.
The boy attended various sections, but his love arose specifically for football. Perhaps due to the fact that Evgeniy’s father is a fan of this game. It was dad who bought the first ball and brought it to the children’s training. A passion for football at a young age led Levchenko to a sports boarding school in Donetsk. At the end of the 1993/1994 season, he first appeared on the field as part of the Metallurg team from Konstantinovka.
Football
In 1996 he was invited to Moscow, spent the first half of the season in the CSKA reserve team, and in the summer he went to the Netherlands. There he first plays for the Helmond team, then moves to the more famous Vitesse. The latter was one of the leaders of Dutch football in those years.
For some time, the player was loaned to the Kambur club, where Levchenko had constant playing practice. Frequent appearances on the field helped make his name recognizable. Evgeniy played as a midfielder; the athlete’s height was 188 cm and his weight was 85 kg.
His football career was not easy: the talented Levchenko was not recognized in his native country for a long time. But thanks to his strong character and patience, Evgeniy still achieved athletic growth. On November 20, 2002, the Ukrainian national team accepted him into its ranks: the footballer took the field in a match against the Slovak team.
In 2005, Evgeniy signed a contract with the Dutch club Groningen, where the midfielder demonstrated brilliant play for several years. In 2009, the contract expired, and Levchenko, as a free agent, signed a new one with Saturn near Moscow. Evgeniy’s transition to the team did not happen without a scandal.
The brother of the RFPL president, Andrei Pryadkin, volunteered to help the footballer arrange the signing of the contract. OJSC Saturn transferred $400 thousand for “services in searching for a football player” and signing an agreement with Levchenko. Evgeniy did not know about the payment; according to him, the salary at Saturn was less than this amount.
In December 2011, Evgeniy contacted Sportivny arbitration court in Lausanne with a request to consider the case of a conflict of interest in the work of RFPL President Sergei Pryadkin. In January 2013, the RFU Ethics Committee, which was tasked with investigating the case, found no signs of a conflict of interest in the president’s activities. The case was closed.
Levchenko still considered the results of the trial a victory. According to him, Evgeniy helped make the football market more transparent, clubs stopped transferring agent money to the accounts of shell companies.
The last club for Levchenko was the Australian Adelaide United, whose contract lasted from 2011 to 2012. To date, Evgeniy has completed professional performances. During his career, the athlete participated in 303 official matches, 8 of which he played for the Ukrainian national team, and scored 40 goals in total.

The girl talks about her relationship with Evgeniy Levchenko, which did not work out during the project:
“I believe that it was no coincidence that we did not succeed in the project. Everyone had to have their own story. After the show ended, no thoughts of renewing the relationship appeared: I think you can’t step into the same river twice. I don’t know how he’s doing, I think he’s alone now. Everything is fine with me: I have a soul mate. I knew my beloved for a long time, but only after “The Bachelor” did a relationship begin to develop. Apparently, now we have gained enough experience and wisdom to be together.”
Despite the relationship, Irina continues friendly communication with the ex-“bachelor”:
“We communicate with Zhenya periodically, write SMS to each other, call each other. When he is in Moscow, we even see each other. The last time we met was a couple of months ago, discussing the latest news. But in in social networks I don’t subscribe to it, except on VKontakte, but everything is probably duplicated there. Sometimes I track photos in the news feed. I don’t look that way on purpose.”

Evgeniy Levchenko football player - biography
Donetsk football graduate Evgeniy Levchenko in early age moved to CSKA Moscow, from which, at the age of 17, he moved to the Dutch Vitesse Arnhem. This club can be called one of the leaders of Dutch football, which fought for a place in European competition with varying degrees of success. Of course, this club is far from giants like PSV, Feyenoord or Ajax, but its level is clearly higher than the average. He failed to immediately break into the first team and was loaned to Helmond (either the 2nd or 3rd league), where he spent the entire first round. He didn’t get lost there and was returned to the team for the second round.
The following year, he again fought for a place in the base; he was not the main team, but he made his contribution to the club winning 3rd place. In general, Levchenko did not have a very good time on the team. Sometimes even the coaches didn’t greet each other, not to mention the partners. That’s why he took the lease at Kambur as a relief. In “Kambur”, a team with less ambitions, but with constant playing practice, Levchenko managed to earn a name for himself. Constant playing practice as an outsider is better than being on the bench as a leader.
His performances were noticed by the management of Vitesse and brought him back from loan, but Evgeniy, as before, failed to catch on at Vitesse. And then there are the injuries. As a result, he was the main player only in the 02/03 season, but the club clearly did not shine that season (14th place). Although this season Levchenko even made his debut in European competition (6 games, 1 goal). People still knew little about him in his homeland, sometimes involving him in the Ukrainian national team. And Russian journalists were surprised in interviews when they learned his nationality. Along the way, Levchenko received a Dutch passport, but still had the right to play for the national team. Fortunately, things worked out for Levchenko a good relationship with the coach of the second team, Mike Snuiy, who later headed the first team (perhaps a normal relationship with the coach played a role in his success at Vitesse).
When you constantly play, you are visible. And so in the summer Levchenko decided to change the club. Utrecht and Heracles (second division) were interested in his services, but ours chose Sparta Rotterdam. And as time has shown, it was right choice. Although the club played in the second division, it always fought for promotion, being eliminated in the play-offs. And Levchenko had constant playing practice. His confident play interested the management of Groningen and in the summer of 2005 he moved to this club. Interestingly, in the same season he helped his “Sparta” reach the major league, so he would still start the next season in the “tower”. “Groningen” is not a leader club; it does not fight for the championship, but is constantly fighting for a place in the UEFA Cup. Here Levchenko immediately became the main one. And coach Ron Jans even described him this way: Put Levchenko in any position, and he will direct the game in the right direction.” Perhaps it was thanks to this “workhorse” that the club managed to get into the European competition.
In the 06/07 season, the club did not start as successfully as the year before. Apparently it was difficult to fight on two fronts, and the opponents already treated Groningen differently. This season, in the UEFA Cup match against Partizan Belgrade, regular penalty taker Cornelisse did not score and this responsibility passed to Levchenko. And he successfully fulfilled these duties, setting his personal scoring record - 8 goals.
