Biography of Ruslan Bidnenko

Ruslan Bidnenko is a Ukrainian football player who primarily plays as a midfielder. He began his career at the Borisfen club in Borispol and was coached by V.A. Varenitsa during his time at the Happy Village middle school. After completing his education at Pereyaslav Pedagogical Institute, where he studied physical education, Bidnenko had the opportunity to move abroad at the age of 17. Scouts from France's Lann club noticed him during a youth national team tournament held in France. Despite impressing during the trial (despite the language barrier), the deal fell through when Borisfen unexpectedly raised the price for his transfer.

Bidnenko became one of the key players for Borisfen and made his debut in the top league on July 12, 2003, in a match against Dnipro, which ended in a 0-2 defeat. In 2003, he transferred to Dynamo Kyiv. In 2005, he was loaned to Dnipro before being permanently signed by the club. He also had loan spells at Neftyanik and Krivbas in 2008. In 2009, Bidnenko was loaned to Arsenal Kyiv.

In addition to his club career, Bidnenko represented Ukraine in the youth national teams, participating in the final tournament of the European Under-16 Championship. He also played one friendly match for the senior Ukrainian national team against France in 2004.
