The national team will gather in Kyiv on February 24, and on the morning of the 25th it will fly to Zagreb, where its first match with the Croatian national team will take place the next day at the local stadium. The match is scheduled to start at 12.00 Kyiv time.

The game between the national teams of Ukraine and Slovenia will take place on March 2. Start - also at 12.00 Kyiv time.

The Ukrainian national team will end the tournament on March 4. Butt matches will take place on this day (depending on the places of the teams in the groups).

We will add that for all history blue-yellow only twice crossed with football players from Croatia, and these matches took place within the qualifying round World Cup 2019. A similar situation is in the confrontation with the Slovenian national team. Twice our national team met the Slovenes in the historic playoff matches, which ultimately guaranteed Ukraine's participation in the finals of Euro 2009.
