During the March training camp, the blue and yellows will play two control matches - with the teams of Denmark and Italy.

Ukraine's youth national team, led by coaches Vasyl Kardash and Oleksandr Melashchenko, has left Kyiv for Lviv with an incomplete squad. There, the team will be joined by players from Shakhtar Donetsk and local Rukh, who played in the national championship match. Tomorrow morning, the blue and yellows will again take a bus to Warsaw, and from there they will fly to Turkey, where they will play a sparring match with the Danish national team on March 24 in Belek (starting at 15.30 Kyiv time).
