The Ukrainian U-18 team (players born in 2008) will hold a training camp in Croatia from October 5 to October 16. During this camp, the team will participate in an international friendly tournament.

The matches will take place in the town of Poreč. The opponents for Ukraine will be Wales, Sweden, and Croatia.

Today, October 8, the blue-and-yellow team will play their opening match against the hosts at 13:30 (Kyiv time). A live stream is available on the YouTube channel of the Ukrainian Football Association.

“We have met Croatia three times recently, so we know their capabilities. We also got to know Sweden at the last camp. So there is some information about them. The only mystery for us is the Welsh team. But that's not the main thing; we want to play our game and stick to it. Of course, we will pay attention to certain aspects of our opponents' play, but we do not intend to adjust ourselves to anyone,” — said coach Vladimir Samborsky the day before.
