FIFA Grants Ukraine’s Request To Postpone World Cup Qualifiers Against Scotland

0

The World Cup play-off semi-final between Scotland and Ukraine has been postponed.

Ukraine is presently in conflict with Russia and they are bidding to reach their second men’s World Cup finals. The nations were set to meet at Hampden on 24 March.

The postponement is due to Ukraine’s request to Fifa to push back the tie following Russia’s invasion of the country.

As a result, the play-off final for the winners against either Wales or Austria on 29 March will now also be delayed.

Discussions are underway for a new date, with the Nations League window in June the most likely option.

The World Cup finals take place from 21 November to 18 December.
