Ukrainian Team Sings Emotional National Anthem Before WC Qualifier

Ahead of Ukraine’s World Cup qualifying match vs. Scotland on Wednesday, the entire team came out on the field wrapped in their country’s flag.

This is the first professional match the Ukrainian team has competed in since Russia invaded the country back in February. As the invasion continues, the Ukrainian soccer team wanted to give the country hope by potentially earning a World Cup berth.

The packed Hampden Park stadium played the Ukrainian national anthem before the match. The players belted their nation’s song, as the crowd sang along waving their own flags and posters.
