World Cup
Scottish barrier. The Ukraine women’s national team lost heavily in the World Cup selection.
The Ukrainian women’s team played a match against Scotland as part of the 2023 World Cup qualifying tournament.
At the beginning of the match, the “blue-yellows” could have taken the lead, but after making a cross from the right, Kozlova shot into the goal from an advantageous position. And before long the meeting’s referee, as Weir noticed, gave our gates a rather controversial (to put it mildly) penalty kick.
After conceding an early goal, our players got nervous and this primarily affected their defensive actions. Cuthbert doubled the advantage of the “Tartan Army” and sent the ball into the goal without any resistance from outside the penalty area. A few minutes later, Thomas closed the canopy around the corner. Thomas completed our team’s defeat in the first half: again after Cuthbert’s corner kick, he sent the ball into the net.
In the second half, the Blue-Yellows made attempts to change the situation, but the Scots acted competently according to the result. Our gates were not particularly threatened and they were not allowed to worsen the situation near their property. The match ended with the score in the first half.
On June 28, the Ukrainian women’s team will face Hungary, but this fight will no longer have a tournament value. Like the matches our team played against the Faroe Islands and Spain. The Blue-Yellows have lost their chance to compete for the World Cup ticket and Scotland has guaranteed them access to the next qualifying stage for the World Cup.

World Cup
INFANTINO: “If there was no FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world”
FIFA President Gianni Infantino He commented on World Cup ticket prices, saying they reflected “absolutely insane” demand for next summer’s tournament:
“We have six to seven million tickets and in 15 days we received 150 million ticket requests. So every day we have 10 million requests. This shows how strong the World Cup is.”
FIFA has sold just 44 million tickets in almost 100 years of the World Cup. So we were able to sell tickets for the 300th anniversary of the World Cup in two weeks. Just imagine. “This is absolutely crazy.”
Infantino also noted that funds from ticket sales would be reinvested into world football, but did not specify a specific amount:
“The important thing is that the revenue from this goes back into football around the world. If it weren’t for FIFA, there would be no football in 150 countries of the world. Football exists thanks to the revenues we get from the World Cup, and we reinvest that into football around the world.”
Previously, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called on FIFA to further reduce 2026 World Cup ticket prices.

Former Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos He talked about his interaction with Brazilian striker Vinicius Junior and other representatives of Brazil within the scope of the “royal club”.
“The Brazilians aroused my sympathy even as a child. While playing for Real Madrid, I developed excellent relationships with Vinicius, Casemiro and Militao.
It is very easy to find a common language with these guys: they know how to enjoy life, and their mentality is significantly different from that of the Germans.
Casemiro and Vinicius and I understood each other perfectly on the field and developed a unique football bond with Vini.
We communicated warmly in daily life. I believe that if there is no contact between players off the field, it is extremely difficult to achieve harmony in the game.
I used Vini’s high-speed bursts effectively and he masterfully directed my passes,” AS Kroos reports.
Let’s remember that Kroos defended the jersey of Real Madrid from 2014 to 2024. During this decade the German midfielder won the Champions League five times.
