Volodymyr Yevhenovych Kostevych (Ukrainian: Володимир Євгенович Костевич, Polish: Wołodymyr Kostewycz; born 23 October 1992) is a Ukrainian professional footballer who plays as a left-back for II liga club Sokół Kleczew.

Career

Kostevych is the product of the UFK Lviv Sportive School System. His first trainer was Oleksandr Voytyuk. In 2010, he signed a contract with Karpaty Lviv. Kostevych made his debut for Karpaty in a match against Chornomorets Odesa on 19 November 2011 in the Ukrainian Premier League.[2]

On 22 March 2023, after stints with Dynamo Kyiv and Rukh Lviv, during which he made no official appearances, he joined Warta Poznań on a deal until the end of the season, with an extension option. Kostevych previously represented another team from Poznań, Lech, from 2017 until 2020.[3]

After his contract with Warta expired, Kostevych stayed at the club to continue training. In early 2024, he underwent trials at Ruch Chorzów,[4][5] Lech Poznań II,[6] and Arka Gdynia,[7] but was unable to secure a contract.

On 19 August 2024, Kostevych joined Polish I liga club Kotwica Kołobrzeg.[8] He made his debut as a substitute in the 84th minute of a 4–0 away loss to Znicz Pruszków on 25 August,[9] making it his first competitive appearance since 12 July 2020.[10] On 22 June 2025, Kostevych was released from his contract.[11]

On 9 October 2025, Kostevych signed with II liga side Sokół Kleczew.[12]
