Journalist Mykhailo Spivakovskyi shared the details of our state's involvement in Portugal and Spain's bid to host the 2030 World Cup.
"There is a purely political implication here. We don't know what will happen in 2030, we don't know what tomorrow will bring. Will we have a country at all? We are a very useful app for Spain and Portugal. This is a win-win story. They are strengthening their bid, it looks stronger in a political sense.
On the day when the Office of the President, and Volodymyr Zelenskyi in particular, spoke with Alexander Ceferin about tougher sanctions on Russia to prevent it from entering the draw, this topic was finally discussed. It's like "Ceferin's blessing" we have, and it's very important in this situation. I think that Spain and Portugal understand that, together with Ukraine, this is a more global story. Even if we have one match, but Ukraine gets to the World Cup without a qualifying cycle, I agree. Maybe this is our only chance.
Some attention is drawn again to the events in Ukraine. Why is it important to do this? People get used to everything. It is very important to draw attention to such events and receive certain investments. "How cool will the World Cup match in the rebuilt Mariupol or in Donetsk at the Donbas Arena look," said Spivakovsky in the "TaToTake" program.
