The Ukrainian beach soccer team held a week-long training camp in Turkey

In early November, the Ukrainian beach soccer team held a training camp in Turkey. 

The team's coach Mykola Kostenko called 11 performers to take part in the training camp in Alanya - two goalkeepers and nine field players.

Goalkeepers: Vladimir Gladchenko (Beachsoccer), Denis Sabatyuk ("Alternative").

Outfield players: Maksym Voitok, Dmytro Voitenko (both - "VIT"), Andriy Pashko, Oleg Sirenko (both - "Alternative"), Oleg Zborovsky, Victor Novitsky (both - Beachsoccer), Ivan Glutsky, Konstantin Makeev (both - "Service"), Vitaly Rakhno (Check Point).

The training camp in Turkey aimed to prepare the national team of Ukraine for the international competitions next season, which should start in February-March 2021. Ukrainians can take part in the European Cup, qualify for the Euroleague Super Final, qualify for the World Cup and, finally, in the World Cup itself, which is scheduled for July next year. 

Mykola Kostenko, the coach of the blue-and-yellows, summed up the results of the team's meeting: “In my opinion, the goal has been fully achieved. The players of the national team of Ukraine in Alanya had everything for full training. We had excellent playgrounds, excellent living conditions and food. In addition, we were helped by the weather, it was sunny all the time, and only on the day of rest was a little rain. That day we arranged a small excursion to the mountains for a better microclimate in the team.

All players worked perfectly. Our experienced fighters - Oleg Zborovsky, Volodymyr Gladchenko, Ivan Glutsky, Maksym Voytok and Konstantin Makeyev - were an example for younger performers due to their professionalism and dedication.

For the first time, a player not from the top division - Vitaliy Rakhna from Check Point - was called up to the national team. Vitaliy Sidorenko and I have been following him for a long time and decided to give him a chance to show himself. And we did not regret it, because Vitaliy fit well into the team and demonstrated a high individual level and efficiency.

As for our plans for the future, of course, one gathering for comprehensive preparation for the highest level competitions is not enough. But much depends on the epidemiological situation in the world and in Ukraine, as well as on some organizational issues. Thus, in December it is planned to hold the Executive Committee of the Beach Football Association of Ukraine, during which the report of the current leadership will be heard and the election of the APFU president will take place. Only then will we be able to plan something more specifically. But in any case, another collection is needed - for example, in Poland, where there are wonderful areas under the roof.
