After arrival and lunch, the players of the Ukrainian national team had about two hours to rest, after which they headed for a training session at the Eltersdorf club's field in the Bavarian town of Erlangen, which competes in the fifth-tier of German club football.

Following warm-up and running drills, in which all 24 players currently present at the blue-yellow base participated, the boys performed ball work exercises.
