Stepanenko presses Soucek's hand in the center of the field, players meet with Spanish referee Guillermo Cuadra for pre-match procedures.

The entire stadium sang our Slavutych anthem in unison with thousands of hands on hot Ukrainian hearts!

National anthems of the Czech Republic and Ukraine are being played!

Starting lineups for the national teams of Ukraine and the Czech Republic come out onto the Taras Shevchenko Stadium in Wrocław and pose before the stands, where Ukrainian blue-and-yellow flags wave!

The Ukrainian team has pleasant memories about playing in Wrocław! It was here on September 9, 2023, within the group stage of Euro-2024 qualification that blue-and-yellow tied with England (1:1) thanks to Oleksandr Zinchenko's goal, and on March 26, 2024 in the final of the Euro-2024 playoff qualifier, due to Victor Tsygankov and Mykhailo Muidrik's goals, they beat Iceland (2:1).

Today's match Ukraine will play in yellow kit. The Czechs are wearing red. Teams have already finished warm-up and soon we'll witness the players coming out onto Taras Shevchenko Stadium in Wrocław!

This is already the seventh meeting between opponents, and the balance of these encounters speaks of an absolute parity. The last time Ukraine won against Czechs was in October 2018 - 1:0 in a home game of Premier League Nations.

In fact, the strongest lineup for the match with Ukraine has been fielded by and head coach of the Czech national team Ivan Hassek, who won the coaching showdown against Serhiy Rebrov in September. But in that game, despite the loss, our boys had all chances to grab points. We hope they'll manage to do it in this match in Wrocław!

The Ukrainian national team has only one lineup change after the win over Georgia's team. Ivan Kaluzhny is replaced by Taras Stepanenko, who will lead blue-and-yellow into battle with a captain's armband!
