In the final match, Volodymyr Yezerskyi's men lost to Germany (0:1) and eventually finished third in the quartet. However, at the end of the mini-tournament, the Ukrainians retained their chances of getting a ticket to the elite qualifying round, as not only the top two teams in each group but also the top five teams out of 13 that took third place get there.
In the competition of the third teams, the results of the matches against the first and second teams of the group are taken into account. Thus, Ukraine had one gold point and a goal difference of 2-3.
Today, after the matches in Group 9, it became known that our national team had won a ticket to the next stage of the competition.
Schedule of third places in the Euro-2024 U-17 qualifying round on 6 November: Denmark - 1 point (goals - 3-4), Ukraine - 1 (2-3), Bosnia and Herzegovina - 1 (2-4), Northern Ireland - 1 (0-2), Luxembourg - 1 (1-4), Iceland - 1 (0-3), Scotland - 0 (1-6), Latvia - 0 (0-5), Malta - 0 (0-8), Kosovo - 0 (0-9).
The competition in three other groups will end on 21 November, but it is already clear that the Ukrainian national team will not fall below fifth place in this correspondence competition.
The draw for the elite round of the Euro-2024 U-17 qualifiers is scheduled for 7 December. Our team will be in the fourth basket.
The matches of this stage will take place in eight groups in March 2024. They will determine the 15 national teams that will join Cyprus in the final tournament, which will run from 20 May to 5 June.
