U-16: Tomorrow Ukraine's youth team will start at the Development Cup

It is worth noting that the blue and yellow will perform at this tournament a year younger than their rivals.

Tomorrow at 10.45 Kyiv time with a match against the Bulgarian team, Oleksandr Petrakov's wards will start their performances at the Development Cup tournament, which will take place from January 20 to 28 in Minsk.

Launched in 2005, these international competitions have already gained prestige in Europe. In different years, such U-17 youth teams as Belgium, Poland, Iceland, Italy, the Czech Republic, Serbia, and Slovakia visited the capital of Belarus. For the national team of Ukraine, participation in the upcoming tournament will be the 12th. The blue and yellows have four triumphs (2009, 2012, 2016, 2018).

For the national team of Ukraine, it all started in 2007. Then our team in the final lost to the Belarusians on penalties - 4: 5 (playing time - 1: 1, the ball in the Ukrainian team scored Eugene Shakhov). The hero of the first victorious final, in 2009, was Philip Budkovsky, who scored twice for Russia (2: 1). In 2012, the victory over the Georgian team in the final (2: 0) was brought by accurate shots by Yuri Tkachuk and Taras Zaviysky. Four years later, the blue and yellows defeated the hosts of the tournament, the Belarusians - 3: 1 (Kulakov - 2, Kashchuk) in a decisive match. And finally, last year the national team of Ukraine in the final was stronger than the Israelis - 2: 1 (Sikan, Nadolsky).

Now, given the younger age of our team and the fact that it is a national team will have to play without players of Kiev "Dynamo", Oleksandr Petrakov's wards will not be easy to win, but knowing how this coach knows how to set up his players for matches, I want to believe that the blue and yellows will not fail ...
