Ireland’s opening Uefa Nations League games in June could be impacted by Ukraine’s request to postpone their World Cup play-off.
The Ukrainian FA on Thursday officially asked Fifa and Uefa to postpone their upcoming play-off game with Scotland at Hampden Park on March 24 due to Russia’s invasion of their country. The Ukrainian league, where a proportion of the squad operate, has been halted.
