Ukraine's national football team will play its first "home" match in 2024 in Wroclaw, Poland, due to the impossibility of holding matches in Ukraine amid the war with Russia.

The Ukrainian Football Association has named the country, city and stadium where the national football team will play its first, nominally home match in 2024, UNN reports.

Details

The first "home" match of the Ukrainian national team in 2024 will take place in Poland, in the city of Wroclaw, at the Tarczynski Arena Wroclaw stadium.

Unfortunately, due to the war with Russia, international football matches cannot be organized on the territory of Ukraine. Therefore, the UAF Presidium, after consulting with the coaching staff, opted for Wroclaw, Poland

 - said the first vice-president of the UAF Vadym Kostyuchenko.

 Reportedly, this choice was influenced by the experience of of organizing the Euro 2024 Ukraine-England qualifying match in Wroclaw, which which took place on September 9, 2023. Back then, the packed stands of the 45,000-seat stadium emotionally supported the Ukrainian national team. The match with the group leader ended in a draw 1:1.

I hope that in March of next year, the Ukrainian national team will achieve a result in Wroclaw that will satisfy all of us

- Kostyuchenko noted.

AddendumAddendum

The opponent of the team Serhiy Rebrov's team, as well as the status of the blue-yellow match, will be determined on March 21 after the matches of the semifinals of the 2024 UEFA European Championship playoffs: Bosnia and Herzegovina - Ukraine and Israel - Iceland.

In case of victory over the Bosnian team, the Ukrainian national team will play in the match for Euro 2024. If the Ukrainian players lose, they will play in the match for 3rd place.

Recall

Ukrainian The Football Association asks FIFA, UEFA and the Serbian Football Union to cancel the Serbia-Russia friendly scheduled for March 21, 2024, due to support for Russia.
