You're reading: British Embassy reminds last time Ukraine-England national teams met at Euro 2012 in Donetsk

Before 1/4 of the European Football Championship, the British Embassy recalled that the last time the national teams of Ukraine and England met at Euro 2012 in Donetsk, and hopes the Ukrainian national team will soon be able to play again in Donetsk, controlled by Ukraine.

“Tomorrow, England will play Ukraine in the Euro 2020 quarterfinals. The last time both teams met in the European Championships was during Euro 2012 in Donetsk,” the embassy said.

The embassy also hopes that in the nearest future the Ukrainian national team will again be able to play a home game in Ukrainian-controlled Donetsk, and then go for a post-season holiday to Crimea.

“The UK is Ukraine’s partner, friend, and supporter in security, reforms, and development,” the embassy said.
