The Ukrainian 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 ensure that the Czech Republic does not lose to Georgia in the parallel match. A defeat by the Albanians will definitely mean relegation to Division C for our team.
It was previously reported that Rebrov began the press conference before the game with Albania by making a statement about the mass shelling of Ukrainian cities by Russian occupiers.
