The Ukrainian national team, led by Serhiy Rebrov, will play the third qualifying match for the 2026 World Cup against Iceland. The match will take place on Friday, October 10, in Reykjavik, and will start at 21:45 Kyiv time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The match of the third round of the European qualification for the 2026 World Cup will be held at the Leigardalsvedlur Stadium. The Ukrainian national team currently occupies third place in Group D, with one point after two rounds. France is leading with six points, and Iceland is second, having scored three. For Serhiy Rebrov’s team, the meeting in Reykjavik is of extreme importance – only a victory will allow the “blue and yellow” to maintain real chances of reaching the playoffs.<\/p>\n

The live broadcast of the Iceland \u2013 Ukraine match will be available on the MEGOGO<\/a> platform. The broadcast is available with subscriptions “Optimalna”, “Sport”, “Maximalna” and “MEGOPACK N+S”, as well as free of charge on the MEGOGO SPORT TV channel on T2 and cable networks. In addition, the broadcast will be broadcast on the MEGOGO Football First channel and in the “Television” section.<\/p>\n

After the game with Iceland, the Ukrainian national team will face a match against Azerbaijan, which will take place on October 13 at 9:45 p.m.<\/p>\n

Bookmakers estimate the teams’ chances as fairly even. The odds for a Ukrainian victory are around 2.4<\/strong> , while Iceland’s success is estimated at around 3.0<\/strong> . A draw has odds of 3.2<\/strong> , which indicates the expectation of a tense and balanced match.<\/p>\n

Experts predict a cautious start to the game with a minimal number of goals scored – a likely result of 1:1 or a minimal victory for the Ukrainians.<\/p>\n

We remind you that the winner of the group will receive a direct ticket to the World Cup, and the team that takes second place will have a chance to make it to the tournament through play-offs.<\/p>\n

The final stage of the 2026 World Cup will be held from June 11 to July 19, 2026 in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. This will be the first World Cup to feature 48 teams instead of the traditional 32.<\/p>\n
