Daniil Lytvynovskyi is preparing with Ukraine's U-19 national team at a training camp in Uzhhorod. Next up is a game against Finland.
The season ended for Athletic Futsal with the Extra League silver medals, yet for the team's youngest player it goes on. Daniil Lytvynovskyi is with Ukraine's U-19 national team at a training camp in Uzhhorod — the youth side has set up in Baranyntsi, at the SK Zinedin base.
The call-up to the national team is recognition of the work the 16-year-old academy product put in throughout the season. Training under the national-team staff and among the best players of his age in the country is an important step in the young player's development.
The nearest test for the blue-and-yellows is a friendly against Finland. Matches like this give the coaches a chance to assess candidates in action and to fine-tune the team's understanding before official fixtures.
For Athletic Futsal, having one of its own academy graduates in the youth national team is a source of pride and confirmation that the club's chosen course of developing young talent is the right one. We wish Daniil and the whole team success in the game against Finland and confident displays in the national-team shirt.
