The blue-yellow squad in Tallinn is set to face teams from Northern Ireland, Estonia, and Luxembourg. The competition is seen as one of the stages in preparing the team for the qualifying round of Euro 2025 (U-17), which will take place in the fall.

Each team will play three matches. Three points will be awarded for a victory, while in the event of a draw, a series of post-match penalties will be held, with the winner receiving two points and the team that is unlucky in the shootout receiving one point.

Under the guidance of Yuriy Moroz, the Ukrainian team started the tournament with a penalty shootout loss to Northern Ireland. Today, the blue-yellow team faced the hosts and won 3:1. Goals for our team were scored by Rolan Mustafaiev (brace) and Yaroslav Mylokost.
