In Kyiv ended selection fee of the Ukrainian U-15 youth national team (football players born no older than 2011), the results of which were summed up by the team's head coach Volodymyr Samborsky.

— It was a selection camp, which had never been in the history of the youth national teams of Ukraine, — said the coach. — 33 players were called up, three players for each position. The squad was divided into three teams, and a mini-tournament was held. The purpose of the review was to see the level of the players, how they adapt to the requirements of the coaching staff. There were no practical training sessions, there were theoretical classes, where we asked the players to prove themselves and tried to relieve their psychological burden, because many were very worried.

We asked the guys to show their best, although, of course, it was difficult to expect high-quality football in the sparring matches, considering that this was just an introduction and that the players came from different teams and had never worked together before.

It is important that we were able to watch the players live, to chat, it is worth it. And a big thank you to the UAF leadership for managing to organize such a training camp, which was also useful because some of the performers have proven themselves quite well and will now be called up for the December training camp, which will start on the 13th and during which our team will take part in an international tournament.
