Ukraine Begins Inaugural Nations League
6 September at Czech Republic
9 September at Arena Lviv
Ukraine kicks off UEFA’s newest football tournament – the Nations League – this month with an away game in the Czech Republic on 6 September and a home match in Lviv against Slovakia. The game in Western Ukraine will be played behind closed doors due to bad behaviour on the part of some Ukrainian fans at their final qualifying match for EURO 2016, a 1-0 loss to Spain in Kyiv. The Nations League is UEFA’s attempt to make ‘friendly’ encounters between nations more meaningful. European nations have been divided into four tiers, of which Ukraine is playing in the second division. One nation from each division will earn qualification to EURO 2020 – outside the normal qualification procedures. Ukraine will complete their home-and-away sets with Slovakia and Czech Republic in October and November.
