Today, on 13 June, the Ukrainian youth national team, which is preparing for the final tournament of Euro 2023 (U-21), met in a sparring match with peers from Kuwait.
Ruslan Rotan's team has been training in Styria, Austria, since 7 June. Today, not far from Graz, the Ukrainians met in a sparring match with their peers from Kuwait. However, we must agree that, since the opposing team involved senior players, the blue and yellows faced the U-23 team.
