The team of legendary Ukrainian football player Andriy Shevchenko, who is now the head coach of the Ukrainian national team, will finally find out their opponents for the upcoming UEFA Nations League on August 30th. This highly anticipated event will determine the fate of the Ukrainian team in the tournament and will be closely followed by football fans all over the country.
The UEFA Nations League is a relatively new tournament, introduced in 2018, which aims to replace international friendly matches with more competitive games. It is divided into four leagues (A, B, C, and D) based on the teams’ rankings, with League A being the highest level. The teams within each league are further divided into groups, and the winners of each group advance to the finals, while the bottom teams are relegated to a lower league.
The Ukrainian national team, also known as the «Yellow-Blue,» is currently ranked 24th in the FIFA World Rankings and is placed in League B of the UEFA Nations League. In the previous edition of the tournament, Ukraine finished second in their group, narrowly missing out on a spot in the finals. However, with the team’s recent success in the Euro 2020 qualifiers, where they finished top of their group, there is a lot of excitement and hope surrounding the team’s performance in the upcoming UEFA Nations League.
The draw for the UEFA Nations League will take place in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on August 30th. This draw will determine the groups for the tournament, and the teams will finally know who they will face in the group stage.

For the Ukrainian team, this draw is crucial as it will determine their opponents and the difficulty of their group.

Under his guidance, the team has shown significant progress, and their recent performances have been impressive.
The team’s success in the Euro 2020 qualifiers has given them a much-needed confidence boost, and they will be looking to continue their winning streak in the UEFA Nations League. With players like Andriy Yarmolenko, Oleksandr Zinchenko, and Roman Yaremchuk in top form, the team has a strong attacking force that can trouble any opponent.
The draw on August 30th will also be significant for the Ukrainian team as it will be their first competitive game since the COVID-19 pandemic forced the suspension of all football activities. The team has been training and playing friendly matches, but the UEFA Nations League will be their first real test after a long break. The players will be eager to get back on the field and prove themselves on the international stage.
The Ukrainian Football Association has already announced that the team will play their home games in the UEFA Nations League at the NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium in Kyiv. This decision was made due to the ongoing renovation of the team’s usual home ground, the NSC Metalist Stadium in Kharkiv. The NSC Olimpiyskiy Stadium, which has a capacity of over 70,000, has been the site of many memorable matches for the Ukrainian team, including their historic victory over Sweden in the Euro 2012 group stage.
