Solidarity: Ukraine plays European Championship qualifiers against Italy at Bayer Leverkusen

In November

The Ukrainian national team is playing its European Championship qualifying game against Italy in Leverkusen. The Rhinelanders announced on Wednesday that the Bundesliga club had agreed to a corresponding request from the Ukrainian association. The game will take place on November 20th at 8:45 p.m.

“We are pleased to be able to send a small sign of solidarity,” said Fernando Carro, CEO of Bayer 04 Leverkusen, in the club’s statement. “For many Ukrainian people who have currently found their second home in the Rhineland, this game in the BayArena is a great opportunity to support their local team up close – as well as for the numerous Italian citizens who live in our region. “

Because of the Russian war of aggression, Ukraine is currently dependent on alternative venues. In qualifying group C for next summer’s European Championships in Germany, the team is currently tied for third place with the second-placed Italians and the fourth-placed North Macedonians. However, Italy played one game less.
