The playoff draw for the Nations League took place, during which the Ukrainian national team learned about its upcoming opponent.
The national team is set to face Belgium in March.
The winner of this matchup in the 2026/27 Nations League will compete in the elite Division A, while the losing team will participate in Division B.
It's worth noting that the Ukrainian team participated in Division B in the current tournament and finished second in its group. Belgium, on the other hand, placed third in its group and failed to advance to the quarter-finals.
Additionally, it's important to mention that in the summer, Ukraine and Belgium were in the same group during the UEFA European Championship, where they played to a 0:0 draw in their direct encounter.
Background. Ukraine secured the right to compete in the playoffs after defeating Albania in the final round of the group stage.
