FIFA has confirmed the date for Cymru’s World Cup Play-Off Final in Cardiff against Ukraine or Scotland. The match will take place on Sunday, 5 June 2022.
The semi-final match between Ukraine and Scotland will be played at Hamden Park in Glasgow on 1 June 2022.
The match between the two nations was postponed in March due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. However, the Ukrainian Association of Football have confirmed that their national team will be able to fulfil the fixture on the rearranged date.
The winners of the Play-Off Final will qualify for the FIFA World Cup Finals in Qatar, where they will be in a group with England, Iran and USA.
As a result of the Play-Off Final being moved to June, Cymru’s UEFA Nations League matches have been impacted.
Steve Williams, Football Association of Wales President, said: “Following today’s announcement from FIFA and UEFA about the World Cup Play-Off Final and Nations League matches in June, whilst we are pleased to see the matter resolved, we have absolute sympathy with our fans and the inconvenience this has caused.
“The FAW lobbied both governing bodies to limit the disruption as much as possible for our fans, whilst recognising the unprecedented situation we find ourselves in through no fault of all parties involved.
“We value the support of The Red Wall; you are absolutely integral to the success of the team on the pitch, and you will be needed more than ever in June’s Play-Off Final.”
