Today, in the Italian town of Colle di Val d'Elsa, Oleksandr Kuznetsov's protégés will play their second match in the elite round qualification for Euro-2022 (U-17). In the first round of the elite round selection for Euro-2022, Ukraine's youth team (players born in 2005 or later) defeated Kosovo (2:0), and today, on April 23, as group leaders, they will face Poland. We remind you that to qualify for the final tournament, blue-and-yellow must secure first or second place in their group.

Today, in the Italian village of Colle di Val d'Elsa, Oleksandr Kuznetsov's wards will play their second match in the elite round qualifier for Euro 2022 (U-17).

In the first round of the Euro 2022 elite round, Ukraine's youth team (players born no later than 2005) defeated Kosovo (2:0) and today, on April 23rd, as group leaders, they will face Poland.

We remind you that to qualify for the final tournament, blue-and-yellow must secure first or second place in their group (in case of second place, they need to have no worse a record than Hungary's, which secured second place in Group 1 with one gold point and a goal difference of -2). In case of equal points, the direct match between teams is considered first according to the regulations. Considering that Poland lost at the start of the competition, our match against them is either decisive or crucial.
