At around 11:00, Uzhgorod residents and guests gathered on the square. They came with national flags to wish players and coaching staff good luck. Such meetings are incredibly important for the team. Support from fans and unity with them give players strength and remind them who they play for on the football field. The warm atmosphere on Petofi Square became a great send-off for the footballers before their League of Nations matches.

This gathering has special significance: since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the national team has gathered in Ukraine only twice. The opportunity to train at home and interact with fans is very valuable for all participants.

The Ukrainian Football Association sincerely thanks Uzhhorod for its hospitality and warm welcome. Special thanks to the Zakarpattya Football Association, Avangard Stadium, and Minay-Arena for their help in organizing the gathering and creating all conditions for quality team preparation. 

The team has two group stage matches in the UEFA Nations League ahead: on November 14, Ukraine will play away against Northern Ireland and on November 17 will host Georgia in Košice, Slovakia.

We are waiting in Košice!

The match between Ukraine and Georgia will take place on November 17 at 21:45 Kyiv time at the "Košická futbalová aréna" in Košice. We invite fans to come to the stadium and support the blue-and-yellow team. Find tickets here.
