Reports: Ukraine’s March World Cup Qualifying Playoff vs. Scotland Postponed

The upcoming World Cup qualifier between Scotland vs. Ukraine has been postponed following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, according to multiple reports.

Scotland was set to host Ukraine on March 24 in a World Cup qualifying playoff semifinal with the victor facing the winner of Wales vs. Austria. According to BBC Scotland’s Chris McLaughlin, the qualifier is now expected to take place during the following international window June.

Last week, Ukraine appealed to FIFA to postpone the fixture due to the current crisis. Ukraine and Scotland are also slated to meet June 7 in the UEFA Nations League as part of four games Ukraine has scheduled that month.
