Ukraine return to action in the 2024 European Championship qualifiers when they take on North Macedonia at the Philip II Arena on Friday (June 16).
Serhiy Rebrov’s men played out a pulsating 3-3 draw with European powerhouse Germany on Monday and will look to build on that result. North Macedonia, meanwhile, kicked off their Euro 2024 qualifiers on a high, beating Malta 2-1 in their group opener in March.
Blagoja Milevski’s men picked up a 1-0 win over Faroe Islands in a friendly at the Philip II Arena four days later, courtesy of a late strike from Aberdeen striker Bojan Miovski.
North Macedonia are third in Group C, level on three points with second-placed Italy, albeit with a game in hand. Ukraine, meanwhile, wrapped up preparations for the qualifiers on Monday with a thrilling 3-3 draw with Germany in Bremen.
The Blue and Yellow now return to the Euro 2024 qualifiers, where they fell to a 2-0 defeat to England in March. Ukraine, who have one game in hand in Group C, are on a run of one win in four games across competitions since September.
