This year, the youth women's national team of Ukraine WU-19 will take part in League A matches of the second stage of Euro-2023 selection and will try to make it to the final tournament.

According to the approved by the UAF Women's Football Committee and confirmed by the UAF Executive Committee calendar of women's football events for 2023 Valery Palamarchuk's wards will start work on March 31, because in early April, the team awaits the second stage of selection in League A for Euro-2023. The blue and yellow will play in group 5 together with the teams of Denmark, Sweden and Iceland. The tournament in our quartet will take place in Denmark in the period from April 5 to 11.

"The competition in Copenhagen will take place on artificial turf. That is why we are planning to hold a three-day training camp in Lviv before leaving for Denmark, where we will train on just such a surface. It should also come in handy that the two spring rounds of the Ukrainian elite championship, on March 18 and 25, will also be held on synthetics," — Told me earlier in the comments of UAF Valery Palamarchuk.

In October-November, the youth women's national team of Ukraine WU-19 is expected to play matches of a new cycle - the selection of Euro-2024, the draw for which will take place in June.
