Ukraine wants to postpone its World Cup qualifying playoff against Scotland amid a shutdown in domestic soccer. FIFA says it has received a request from the Ukrainian Association of Football to postpone their matches scheduled for March.
A large part of Ukraine’s team is made up of players playing for domestic clubs such as Dynamo Kyiv and Shakhtar Donetsk. The national league has been disrupted by the national league stopping last week and many players who are not from Ukraine left the country to seek safety.
The global World Cup qualifying program has already seen several delays because of the COVID-19 pandemic. One option would be to postpone the games in the four-team playoff bracket until June.
