At the «Parc des Princes» stadium, where today's match of the fifth round group stage of the 2026 World Cup qualifier between France and Ukraine will take place (kickoff at 9:45 PM Kyiv time), the blue-and-yellow team has not yet played.

This is quite unusual, considering that our team will be playing in France for the eighth time. However, until today all these matches took place on the country's main stadium, «Stade de France», which is located in Saint-Denis, a suburb of Paris. Ukrainians do not have particularly pleasant memories of those encounters: two draws and four losses with a total score of 2-14.
