In Murcia and directly at the «Enrique Roja de Murcia» stadium, where today's first match of the 2024/25 League of Nations playoff between Ukraine and Belgium will take place (kickoff at 9:45 PM Kyiv time), our national team has not yet played.

However, the blue-and-yellow have a fairly rich history of appearances on Spanish soil, where they managed to play six matches in five cities: Granada, Elche, Seville (twice), Marbella, and Madrid. Interestingly, the statistics for these matches are not catastrophic for Ukrainians: two wins, one draw, and three losses, with a goal difference of 5:8.

It is worth noting that among current UAF President and head coach Andriy Shevchenko, as well as national team players Andriy Yarmolenko, Mykola Morozuk, and Artem Kravets, there are those who have scored goals in Spain.
