International career

Checher made his debut for Ukraine on 18 February 2004 in an away draw with Libya (1:1). He replaced Serhiy Symonenko on 62nd minute.

After playing only 5 matches, in 2004 along with Serhiy Zakarlyuka and Oleksandr Zotov he was expelled from the camp of the national team with a scandal for violating the regime due tardiness.[1][2][3] According to Serhiy Zakarlyuka, it may have been due to personal issues with coach Semen Altman.[4] In interview to a local television program "Profutbol", Checher commented "Don’t think that we are some kinds of monks or robots who came to training, worked and went back. No, we are all living people, we all want to relax, restore strength".[3] The Football Federation of Ukraine president Hryhoriy Surkis at a press-conference stated “Roughly violating all the norms of ethics, morality, good conduct and the laws of partnership, on the evening of the game with the Turks, Checher, Zotov and Zakarlyuka were not present at the recovery events on Friday evening”.[5]
