The Ukrainian Football Association sent a letter to FIFA Secretary General Mathias Grafström and UEFA Secretary General Theodore Theodoridis on this matter.
“We appeal to express our deep concern about the situation of the infographic map [shown] December 13, 2024.” – we read in the letter.
“Taking into account the number of official decisions and resolutions adopted by the FIFA Council and the UEFA Executive Committee since 2014… we emphasize that today’s version of the cartographic image of Ukraine… is completely unacceptable and appears to be an inconsistent position of FIFA and UEFA.”
The 2026 World Championships will start on June 11 of the same year in Mexico City and end on July 19 in New Jersey.
The extensive tournament, in which 48 teams will take part, will last a record 39 days.
Ukraine was in Group D along with Iceland, Azerbaijan and the yet-to-be-determined winner of France’s Nations League quarter-final against Croatia.
