Ukraine and Sweden continue their quest for a place at the World Cup 2026. Despite having to play this ‘home’ fixture in Valencia, Spain, on March 26, Ukraine can still expect huge support from the stands.
A win for either side sets up a home encounter with Poland or Albania on March 31 with the victor of that tie clinching a place at this summer’s global soccer party in North America. It’s going to be a huge week of international football and tickets will be in high demand.

What can you expect from the Ukraine vs Sweden World Cup Qualifier?
Ukraine is hoping to ease its World Cup play-off heartache. Since entering the World Cup qualification process for the first time in 1998, they’ve fallen at the play-off hurdle on no less than six occasions.
Serhiy Rebrov’s men will have fond memories of hosting on Spanish soil, though, as the only previous time they did, during the UEFA Nations League play-offs last March, they recorded a 3-1 victory over Belgium, with Oleksiy Hutsulyak, Vladyslav Vanat, and Illia Zabarnyi all netting.
Sweden has had their own play-off dramas. They bowed out at this stage of qualification in 2014 and 2022, although they did memorably beat Italy to make it to the 2018 World Cup Finals.
The Scandinavians will need to up their game hugely, though, as they failed to win a single match during the group stage of World Cup qualification. Thankfully for Graham Potter, who only took over the Swedish reins in October, his side gained a play-off spot due to their Nations League performance.
