Reminder, today's draw for the group stage of Nations League 2026/2027 took place in Brussels. According to its results, Ukraine’s national team has been placed in Group B2, where they will face teams from Hungary, Georgia, and Northern Ireland.

The coach of the Georgian national team, Willy Sanjuán, shared his impressions from the draw on the official website of the Georgian Football Federation here.

"In the previous edition of the Nations League, we saw that Ukraine is a very tough opponent. Hungary has recently played in League A and generally achieved good results over the last 10 years. Therefore, we expect difficult matches.

Northern Ireland is a team of British type, high intensity, which can bring surprises. However, our goal is to show good play in this league.

To continue the progress of the Georgian national team, it’s necessary to play at a high level. Therefore, it's important to maintain our position in this division. We must use every opportunity that brings us closer to a major tournament with full concentration and motivation. Of course, the players will be motivated, and I hope they will show it in September,"
