Acting head coach of the Ukrainian national football team Ruslan Rotan commented on the upcoming start in the Euro 2024 qualifying match with England.

The specialist is quoted by the press service of the UAF.

" I want to thank the people of Great Britain for supporting us in the war our country is waging against the enemy.. Everyone's support is very important to us.. We are very grateful to you for it.. I believe that this is also a match for our warriors. What is happening in Ukraine now is very scary. We must be motivated to please them both with the game and with the result, in order to give the emotions that our people lack now..

We count on patriotic people who support us. Any support is greatly appreciated. I would like to ask the fans about it. I think there will be a friendly atmosphere at Wembley, but there will be a big fight on the field itself.. I am sure that football and the people who will attend the match will benefit from this, as well as come to support Ukrainians as a nation..

Indeed, it is not easy for us. However, it is really not easy for our soldiers on the front line.. And the fact that it is difficult for players to recover, to get. We have to be ready for the match and be 100% motivated because I believe that we will play with a top 5 team in the world.. For us, this is an important match, we need to drop everything, be focused on the game, because we must give our country emotions that will lift it in this difficult time,"

The match between the Ukrainian national team and England is scheduled for March 26 and will be held at Wembley Stadium in London, starting at 19:00.
