Previously, it became official that the nominally home match of the national team of Ukraine against Italy, which will take place on the 20th of November as part of the selection for the European Championship 2024, will take place on Bayer Leverkusen's home stadium - BayArena.

Bayer CEO Fernando Carro commented on this news.

“We are glad that we were able to send messages, no matter how small, about our solidarity and support.

For rich Ukrainians who have already found their other home near the Rhineland, this game on the BayArena has a miraculous ability to thoroughly support their team.

The same is true for the large Italian population that lives in our region. We believe in peace and, of course, the sacredness of football,” Fernando Carro is quoted as saying by the UAF official website.

It seems likely that on the 14th Prazia will have a nominally home game between Ukraine and Northern Macedonia, and on the 17th the Blue-Yellows will have a foreign match against Malta.
