He explained that the presence of our people gives us the opportunity to hold this game there so that our diaspora in Spain can attend the game.
Will the Ukrainian national team play home World Cup 2026 qualifying matches in Spain? We are not considering this question yet. We are preparing for this match, we will see how the preparation goes. We will get the numbers and will know how many fans came to the game, — explained Andriy Mykolayovych Sportnews.
