We would like to remind you that the match of the 6th round between Serbia and Ukraine will take place on December 5 in the Serbian town of Stara Pazova at the Stadium Sports Center of FA of Serbia. The game starts at 20:00 Kyiv time.

Our team gathered in Lviv on the evening of November 25, right after the end of the final match of the Cup of Ukraine. Subsequently, the delegation of the women's national team of Ukraine arrived in Ryashiv (Poland), where they held a training camp.

"The injured Anastasia Voronina from Kolos was replaced by Olga Basanska from Kryvbas, and Maryna Shayniuk (Vorskla) was replaced by Tamila Khimich (Zhytlobud-1). Already in Ryashev, Olga Ovdiychuk from the Turkish "Fomget" was injured, and Yana Malakhova from the Slovenian FC "Mura Nona" had to be urgently called in, Volodymyr Pyatenko, the acting head coach of the women's national team of Ukraine, said the day before. "The mood of my wards is fighting, there is still a chance to improve in the class, so we will fight to the end."

We remind you that in order to compete for second place and have the opportunity to move up to League A through the playoffs, you need to win twice in the December matches and hope that Serbia does not win in Greece. In order not to be relegated directly to League C, the blue-yellows must collect as many points as possible in order not to miss Greece or become the third worst team in League B.

The live broadcast of the match on the UAF YouTube channel will begin today at 19:00 p.m.
