FOOTBALL: FIFA has agreed to postpone Ukraine’s World Cup play-off match against Scotland

Ukraine has asked FIFA to postpone their 2022 World Cup qualification play-off semi-final against Scotland this month due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The two countries were set to face off in Glasgow on March 24, with the winner qualifying for the World Cup in Qatar later this year, where they would face either Wales or Austria.

In a statement, FIFA said, “FIFA can confirm that it received a request from the Ukrainian Association of Football today to postpone their March matches.”
