A famous Swedish journalist Olof Lund summarized the results of the draw of the play-off selection for the 2026 World Cup.
“Ukraine is the best possible result. It is impossible to imagine a better result for Sweden. Of course, we all see the possibility of defeating Ukraine. You then have the opportunity to decide which home ground to play in the final if we get there. Compared to a meeting with Italy, Denmark or Turkey, Ukraine is an incredible opportunity for Sweden,” said Olof Lund.
On November 20, the draw for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the UEFA zone took place in Zurich, Switzerland. The opponent of the Ukrainian national team in the semi-finals of the playoffs was Sweden. Ukraine will hold a semi-final match on March 26 at a conventional home stadium.
