EURO 2024. Latest from Ukraine's camp: national team conducted pre-match training at Warsaw National Stadium
Today, the national team of Ukraine held an official training session at the National Stadium in Warsaw.
All 26 players present in the national team camp participated in the training. The team jogged across the pitch of the arena, followed by a series of preparatory exercises before the main part of the training session. Specifically, there were interesting drills led by the fitness coach Vitaliy Kulyba focusing on agility and reaction speed.

Afterward, there were scrimmage series aimed at preparing for tomorrow's match and working on tactical gameplay patterns. Head coach Serhiy Rebrov promised squad rotation compared to the match against Germany at the press conference, so today the coaching staff tested various player combinations.

While doing their work, the players familiarized themselves with the field of the capital's arena, which is in excellent condition. The grass during the evening training was slightly higher than usual, but this was because both national teams trained on it today. Tomorrow morning, the arena staff will mow the lawn, ensuring it is in perfect condition for the match.
