On September 23, Ukraine’s youngest national team, U-16 (players born in 2009 or later), will begin their first-ever training camp in Spain.
During this camp, the Blue and Yellows will participate in a tournament, facing England, France, and Israel.
Head coach Yuriy Moroz shared his expectations for the training camp ahead of the team's departure.
— Naturally, the coaching staff's first task is getting to know the boys better, — said Yuriy Moroz. — Our scouting department abroad and here in Ukraine worked diligently to identify potential candidates. Unfortunately, not all players could attend because these are not official UEFA dates, and some clubs did not release their players. So, this is an opportunity to see other boys in action who can prove themselves in the best light.
As for the upcoming tournament, it has been organized by the English side for several years. The Ukrainian team was invited to participate this time, thanks to UAF President Andriy Shevchenko, for whom we are very grateful. This is a great opportunity not only to gather but also to play against strong teams like England, France, and Israel.
