Ukraine to host Northern Ireland in Slovakia for Nations League fixture

Ukraine will host Northern Ireland at the Anton Malatinsky Stadium in Trnava, Slovakia, for their upcoming UEFA Nations League fixture. Due to the ongoing Russian invasion, Ukraine has been forced to play its home matches at neutral venues across Europe, including locations in the Czech Republic, Poland, Spain, and Germany.

Northern Ireland enters the match following a 1-0 victory against Georgia in Tbilisi. Their upcoming schedule includes a match against Hungary at Windsor Park before traveling to Slovakia to face Ukraine.

Hungary, who lost their opening Nations League match 1-0 to Ukraine in Budapest, will face Georgia following their encounter with Northern Ireland. The Ukrainian national team is currently managing a demanding schedule, playing multiple fixtures within a single international window.
