Euro 2024 Qualifiers: Ukraine take on Italy at the BayArena in November

The BayArena will host an international match for the first time in six years when Ukraine and Italy face each other on November 20th (8:45 p.m.). Bayer 04 Leverkusen has agreed to a request from the Ukrainian Football Association to be able to play the qualifying game for the 2024 European Championship at the Bundesliga club's home ground.

Due to Russia's war of aggression, Ukraine is dependent on alternative venues when it comes to hosting home international matches. Ukraine is currently in third place in European Championship Qualifying Group C, tied on points behind the second-placed Italians, who have played one game less.

Fernando Carro, CEO at Bayer 04 said: “We are pleased to be able to send a message, however small, of solidarity with our support. For many Ukrainians who have currently found their second home in the Rhineland, this game in the BayArena is a great opportunity to cheer on their home team up close - as well as for the numerous Italian citizens who live in our region. We hope for a peaceful and of course exciting celebration of football.”

Ticket sales are expected to start October 25 online via www.bayer04.de/en-us. More details will be released in time on respective Bayer 04 channels.

The Bayer 04 U19 team lost 1-0 to Inter Milan on the sixth and final matchday in the league phase of the UEFA Youth League 2024/25. The only goal of the game was scored just after the hour mark. While the side from North Italy have finished top in the league phase with a maximum points return, the Leverkusen team appeared to have just missed out on the knockout stages of the European competition. There is faint hope looking to several games to follow where results are needed to go the way of the Werkself.
