Ukraine national team in the 2024/25 Nations League: results and standings
The Ukraine national team has already played five matches in the 2024/25 Nations League. Rebrov's team lost to Albania (1:2), lost to the Czech Republic (2:3), beat Georgia (1:0), drew with the Czech Republic (1:1) and drew with Georgia (1:1).
Before the last round, the Ukrainian national team with 5 points occupies the last place in its League B group, having finally lost the chances for the first line and direct access to Division A.
At the same time, the “blue-yellows” continue to claim the second position to get into the playoffs for the right to move up a class. To do this, Ukraine needs to defeat Albania and for the Czech Republic not to lose to Georgia in the parallel match. A defeat by the Albanians will definitely mean relegation to Division C for our team.
Earlier it was reported that the head coach of the Albanian national team, Sylvinho, assessed the tournament situation before the decisive match of the League of Nations against Ukraine.
