As reported earlier this month, Ukraine is now part of the joint bid with Spain and Portugal for the hosting of the 2030 FIFA World Cup. The choice of host for international sporting events such as the FIFA World Cup is at the discretion of the international federation, and its member associations.

The Government has been clear in its support of the Ukrainian people - and we have helped to build and lead the international response in this area, including building consensus for two collective statements from like-minded nations on the actions we believe should be taken within sport in response to Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. The Football Associations across the UK have also worked closely with the Ukrainian FA - directly, and through European football’s governing body, to provide support.
