The friendly match between Germany and Ukraine will take place on June 12, Monday, at 19:00 at the Weserstadion in Bremen and will be broadcast by Digi Sport 1.

Germany has decided to celebrate its 1,000th match in a friendly against Ukraine, with whom it wants to send an international message in the context of the invasion launched on February 24, 2022 by Russia.

Germany, the host of the Euro 2024 final tournament, is not participating in the qualifying campaign and has scheduled three friendlies this month alone: ​​against Ukraine on June 12 in Bremen, then Poland on June 16 in Warsaw and Colombia on June 20 in Gelsenkirchen.

“The 1,000th game is a very special event. We want to use this to send a clear message of international peace and understanding, against war and destruction. Therefore, this game will be with Ukraine, in fact, for Ukraine,” said the president of the German Football Federation, Bernd Neuendorf.

In the last official match at the World Cup in Qatar, Hansi Flick’s team played in the group stage with a score of 4:2 against Costa Rica, but the national team failed to advance to the playoffs.

Since then, Germany have played two friendlies, both at home, 2-0 against Peru (Fullkrug, 12, 33) and 2-3 with Belgium (Fullkrug, 44p, Gnabry 87 / Carrasco 6, Lukaku 9, De Bruyne 78).

Ukraine is in Group C of the Euro 2024 qualifiers and lost the first leg 0-2 away to England (Kane 37, Saka 40), while the other opponents are Italy, North Macedonia and Malta (the first two players qualify directly for the final tournament in Germany).

This month, the team under interim manager Ruslan Rotan (appointed until former international Serhiy Rebrov, currently contracted to Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates, is unable to lead the team) will play two more official away matches on June 16 against North . Macedonia, and in Trnava (Slovakia) on June 19, the one that is considered at home with Malta.

Ukraine has never won against Germany, and in the last direct game, which took place on November 14, 2022 in the League of Nations, the Germans won on their field, in Leipzig, with a score of 3:1 (they also won on tour, in Kyiv, with 2- 1).
