Home Fixtures for the 2027 World Cup Qualifiers
Ukraine's women's national football team will host their 2027 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying matches against England and Spain in Antalya, Turkey. The schedule for the group stage has been confirmed, and playoff matches have also been planned. This arrangement is due to the ongoing security situation in Ukraine, which prevents matches from being played on home soil.
The Ukraine vs. England match will take place on March 3, 2026, at the Mardan Stadium, which has a capacity of 7,428 spectators. The following fixture, Ukraine vs. Spain, is scheduled for March 7, 2026. These two encounters will form part of the first and second rounds of qualifying for the global tournament.
Following the group stage, the Ukrainian team has the opportunity to continue its campaign in the playoffs. On March 26, 2026, the team will meet Sweden in a playoff semi-final. Should they successfully advance from this stage, they could face the winner of the Poland vs. Albania match in the playoff final.
Match Schedule
It is worth noting that preparations for the qualifiers are already underway. The Ukrainian squad recently secured a 2:0 victory in a match against Iceland. The goals in that match were scored by Zubkov in the 83rd minute and Hutsuliak in the 90+3rd minute.
The match calendar for the Ukrainian women's national team is as follows:
- March 3, 2026. Ukraine - England

The 2027 World Cup will be hosted across three nations in North America, and the Ukrainian team has every chance of performing successfully in the qualification process.
The qualifying campaign for the 2027 World Cup represents a crucial stage for Ukraine's women's national team, as strong performances could not only boost the team's ranking but also attract greater attention to women's football within the country.
