Addendum

The President of the Ukrainian Association of Football, Andriy Shevchenko, previously stated that the UAF plans to bring the national team closer to the fans, which is why the team's first training camp is taking place in Ukraine.

"And whenever possible, we will look to hold more such camps. There will be events for our fans to bring the national team even closer to the supporters," Shevchenko noted.

He also mentioned that as long as hostilities continue in Ukraine, friendly matches involving the national team are practically impossible. 

Reminder 

Italian coach Andrea Maldera took charge of the Ukraine national football team following the dismissal of Serhiy Rebrov. Previously, Maldera worked for the national team as an assistant to Andriy Shevchenko, who currently heads the UAF.

Under Maldera's leadership, the team will play a friendly match against Poland on May 31, and against Denmark on June 7.
