The national team will have a backup option in case of failure in the qualifying game with the Italians.
The Ukrainian national team will have a chance to enter the European Football Championship even if it fails in the match against Italy. We remind you that to qualify directly for Euro 2024, the “blue-yellows” only need to defeat the current holders of the trophy.
However, if they do not qualify for Euro 2024, Rebrov’s team will enter the tournament directly through the Nations League playoffs.
This became possible thanks to the participation of the Serbian national team in the European Championship. Dragan Stojkovic’s team drew 2:2, helping Ukraine increase its chances of qualifying for the continental forum.
So, even if they finish third in the group, the Ukrainians are guaranteed to participate in the playoffs of the Nations League.
Ukraine can play in Path A or Path B. If the Czech team loses at home to Moldova, Ukraine will automatically be in Path B, because in this case all slots in Path A will be occupied by other teams.
Possible opponent in Path A – Wales. In Path B, the draw could be between Ukraine and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Nations League playoffs will take place next spring.
We remind you that the match between Ukraine and Italy will take place today, November 20, in Leverkusen, Germany. The starting whistle will sound at 21:45.
It was already known who will be the referee in the match between Ukraine and Italy.
