After the opening match of the World Cup 2026 qualifiers against France (0:2), the Ukrainian national team began focused preparation for the second match of the September cycle — against Azerbaijan.
Yesterday, the coaching staff of the blue-and-yellows divided the team into two conditional groups. The first group — those who played against Le Ble on the bench or came on as substitutes, held a training session. The second group — those who started in Wrocław, focused on recovery.
Today, the team held a training session and is preparing for the trip. The flight to Baku, where on September 9 at the Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium, the match Azerbaijan — Ukraine (19:00 Kyiv time) is scheduled for this afternoon.
