December 7 will see the draw for the elite round of qualification for the UEFA Euro-2024 among under-19 teams, in which Ukraine's national team (players born in 2005 or later) will participate. The ceremony starts at 11:30 AM Kyiv time.

As a reminder, Oleksandr Kuznetsov’s wards secured first place in their qualification round group. Prior to the elite round draw, the blue-and-yellow qualified into the second pot.

In the elite round, 27 teams emerging from the qualification round will join top-seeded Portugal, which enters competition at this stage. Matches will take place from March 18 to 26, 2024.

Winners of the groups in the elite round will join tournament hosts Northern Ireland for the final stage, scheduled for July 15-28, 2024 and serving as a UEFA qualifier for the U-20 World Cup (U-20).
