“In my opinion, this is the strongest team that could reach us. Everyone focuses on the current state of the Swedes. But our meeting will take place in two months. Everything can change. Sweden has a very strong squad, and many of its players represent elite European clubs. They, like us, aim to make it to the World Cup, so we will face a very difficult match.
For me, the fact that the Swedes performed unsuccessfully in the qualifying tournament does not mean anything. Any team, even an outsider, can give their all in one game, and Sweden is one of the strong European teams, that’s for sure. For the national team of Ukraine, this will be a match of a lifetime, like all previous matches. After all, we understand that there is a war in the country and every victory, even on the sports front, adds joy to Ukrainians in such a difficult time.”
The match between Ukraine and Sweden will take place on March 26, 2026 at 21:45 Kyiv time.
