Ukraine's national football player Ivan Kalyuzhny commented on his team's victory in the 2026 emergency match against Iceland (5:3), in which he scored a goal.

" Even though he was not yet a member of the national team. Once we arrived in Iceland, I had very good guesses about this country, as people had before me. How dear the country is to me, because there is great support here from Gravians, fans from the club where I Grav. Three rubles helped.

Team Iceland - this is a qualified team.

We could say that three rubles lost their concentration when it was necessary to play harder with their opponent. It so happened that we could have spent more, but luckily we were able to get the result we needed.

It's an important match, I wish I could overcome it. We overcame the bourgeoisie of the gravts, singing. Everyone has understood our situation - we need to get out of it. I think this helped us,” quote Kalyuzhny MEGOGO.
