The Ukraine national team impressed the football world with another confident victory, this time with a score of 2:0 against the Icelandic team. This result highlighted our team's readiness for the 2026 World Cup tournament and opened up the possibility of landing in the first pot during the playoff draw.
According to the updated FIFA ranking, Ukraine's position in the qualification process will be determined on November 19. Among the contenders for the first pot, our national team currently holds the second place, but we still need to consider the results of other matches, specifically Turkey's.
Important victories and chances for success
Ukraine is showing good gameplay and fighting spirit, particularly in recent matches against Azerbaijan and Iceland. Our chances of securing first place in the pot look quite optimistic, and we hope that key matches in other groups will help us in this.
The teams from the first and second pots will have the advantage of playing at home in the semifinals, which could be an important aspect on the road to the final. We only have to wait for the draw on November 20 to find out the next step for our team in the quest for participation in the 2026 World Cup.
