World Cup
These are the eight groups of the World Cup in Qatar
The draw did not result in a “group of death” for the 2022 World Cup. However, the duel between Spain and Germany for the fifth group and the coexistence of Portugal with Uruguay and France with Denmark in the same group stand out.
The draw for the group stage of the World Cup has been completed, with some very interesting duels emerging. The fifth group, which includes Spain’s duel with Germany, is outstanding.
At the same time, the draw resulted in the opening match of the World Cup (along with the rest of the programme, of course) in which the hosts (Qatar) meet Ecuador on 21 November. The big derby between Spain and Germany will take place on November 27th.
The World Cup premiere will take place on Monday 21 November at 12:00 at Al Bayt Stadium. The Group Stage will take place over a 12-day period, from November 21st to December 2nd.
From there, the minor and grand finals are scheduled for December 17 and 18 at Khalifa International Stadium and Lusail Stadium, respectively.
The group matches take place at 12:00, 15:00, 18:00 and 21:00, the knockout games at 17:00 and 21:00. The “16” stage will take place from December 3rd to 6th, the quarterfinals on the two days 9-10, the semifinals on December 13th and 14th. There is a two-day break between the knockout games.
As already mentioned, the final will take place on December 18th at 5:00 p.m.

World Cup
Shevchenko made statements about the Ukraine-Sweden match in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers
UAF President Andrey Shevchenko He talked about the match against the Swedish national team in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
“When we were drawn against Sweden we probably faced our toughest opponent. I have great respect for Swedish football, you have always had good national teams and great players.”
“It’s always difficult to face Scandinavian teams, even though you don’t qualify for the World Cup, because you have so much quality, character and identity. This is similar to us to some extent. I don’t think there are favourites. In the end it all depends on the details, the injury situation and the preparations,” said Shevchenko.
In case of victory, Ukraine will play with the winner of the Poland-Albania doubles for a ticket to the World Cup. Ukraine will play the final match at home on March 31, again conditionally.
In addition to the 12 teams that finished second in their groups, the 4 winners of the Nations League quartet will also participate in the play-offs. All 16 participants are divided into 4 paths. Each route will include a semi-final and a final. The semi-finals will be held on March 26, and the finals will be held on March 31, 2026.

UAF President Andrey Shevchenko He pointed out the significant financial costs of organizing the Ukrainian national team’s “home” matches outside the country.
“Hosting such meetings costs us an enormous amount of money and we are deprived of the opportunity to assemble a full stadium. In fact, the cost of a so-called home match at a neutral venue costs around five times more than a regular match.”
Our sponsors are located in a country where the struggle continues, so their financial resources are seriously limited.
I cannot approach the government with requests for additional funding.
We are forced to work tightly within the available budget and rely on the support of private donors, especially when it comes to social initiatives,” the UAF president told Dagens Nyheter.
During the current year, the Ukrainian national team played its official home matches in stadiums in Spain and Poland.

Head coach of the Portuguese national team Roberto Martinez He explained why Cristiano Ronaldo continues to play an important role in the national team.
– There is always a lot of talk around Cristiano Ronaldo. Why does he remain the undisputed starter for the Portuguese national team, even though he will soon be 41?
“It’s all about his attitude towards the profession.” We constantly evaluate three key factors: talent level, accumulated experience and the contribution a player can make to the national team.
Making the highest demands on himself for the benefit of the team allows the captain to maintain his place in the squad. His desire to be the best is passed on to his partners. “The 25 goals he scored in 30 matches as a striker confirms that his play brings tangible benefits to the national team,” he said.
