Ukrainian coach Yuriy VIRT shared his impressions of the draw for the 2026 World Cup qualifying cycle.
Yuriy VIRT«I think that Iceland and Azerbaijan are almost an ideal option. There are nuances with logistics, as we will have to fly a bit. Overall, we must beat these opponents, with all due respect to them. Of course, France and Croatia are top teams. Especially France, although they are currently having certain problems in terms of results.
We need to fight for a place in the sun and hope that at the beginning of the competitions (September 2025. — Ed.) Ukraine will have the opportunity to host opponents at home stadiums. Then our chances will increase significantly,» said Yuriy VIRT.
