The UEFA officially announced changes to the dates of the elite round matches for the European Championship 2022 qualifiers involving Ukraine's U-17 national team (players born in 2005).

We remind you that our team will face Italy, Kosovo, and Poland in the elite round qualifiers for the 2022 European Championship. The mini-tournament to be hosted by Italy was originally scheduled from March 23 to 29. Due to Russia's military aggression against Ukraine UEFA has changed the schedule of Group 6 matches. They have been rescheduled for April.
