Ukraine manager Oleksandr Petrakov is set to have his wish granted to have their Uefa Nations League game against Ireland on Tuesday, June 14 being staged in Łódź (Lodz).

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine means their home games must be switched and once neighbouring Poland was selected, Petrakov requested the city of his greatest triumph – the U20 World Cup.
