After the first in history training camp involving as many as 33 young football players of the U-15 age category (players born in 2011 and younger), the Ukrainian Football Association continued its systematic work to improve youth team selection and introduce full transparency in player selection.

Within this framework, from December 4th at the training facilities of the «Arsenal-Arena» (town of Shchastya) and NTB «Dynamo», the Ukrainian Football Association is holding a youth tournament called «Future National Team» among players born in 2009, which will conclude on the 8th.

Six teams are participating in the tournament, divided into two groups. 

Group A: youth team A, «Shakhtar» (Donetsk), LNZ (Cherkasy).

Group B: youth team B, «Dynamo» (Kyiv), «Rukh» (Lviv).

After the group stage, there will be a knockout round where teams that finished third, second, and first in their respective groups will face each other.
