Georgia – Ukraine: Nations League match could be postponed due to bad weather – rain pours on the stadium's turf

Tbilisi, 23 September, 2023

The Nations League match between Georgia and Ukraine, scheduled for tomorrow, September 24, at the Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena in Tbilisi, Georgia, is under threat of postponement due to heavy rainfall that has flooded the stadium's pitch.

Torrential rain has been lashing Tbilisi since this morning, and the pitch at the Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena is currently under water. The match officials are inspecting the pitch to determine if it is playable, but the current conditions are not favorable.

If the match is postponed, it will be a major blow to both teams. Georgia is currently top of Group C4, with four points from two games, while Ukraine is third with three points from two games. A win for either team would put them in a strong position to qualify for the next round of the Nations League.

The Nations League is a new competition for European national teams, which was launched by UEFA in 2018. The competition is designed to replace international friendlies and provide more competitive matches for teams of all levels.

The match between Georgia and Ukraine is one of the most eagerly anticipated matches of the Nations League group stage. Both teams have a number of talented players, and the match is expected to be a close contest.

However, the weather conditions could prevent the match from taking place. If the pitch is deemed unplayable, the match will be postponed to a later date.

The decision on whether or not to postpone the match will be made by the match officials. The officials will inspect the pitch and make a decision based on the current conditions.
