The mentors of Ukraine's youth national team, which will participate in the final tournament of the European Championship for the third time in its history this summer and compete for a spot at the Olympics, are taking advantage of the fact that 15 clubs from the Ukrainian Premier League (UPL) will prepare in Turkey during the winter break, and have planned their trips to the Mediterranean coast.

One of Rostyslav Rotan's assistants, Vasyl Kardas, has already arrived in Antalya. Vitaliy Reva is scheduled to fly there on February 2nd, while Oleksandr Melashchenko will arrive on the 6th. Considering the number of Ukrainian clubs and friendly matches that will take place over the last month of winter in the region's cities, there should be no shortage of work for experts from a scouting perspective. It is worth noting that head coach Rostyslav Rotan himself, who also oversees "Oleksandria," will conduct training camps with them in Belek and Side while keeping an eye on things.

We remind you that Ukraine's youth national team, preparing for the Euro 2023 (U-21), will hold a training camp in March during which they will play two friendly matches—on the 24th against Denmark in Turkey and on the 27th against Italy in the Apennines.

At the Euro 2023 (U-21), taking place from June 21 to July 8 in Georgia and Romania, sixteen teams will participate. According to the draw results held on October 18 last year in Bucharest, Ukraine landed in Group B where they will face Romania, Spain, and Croatia. The three best teams at Euro 2023 (excluding France and England) will qualify for the Olympics in 2024.
