Ukraine national football team denied Nations League promotion

Relegated to League B after a 2-0 defeat in Georgia

Shevchenko's side finish bottom of their Nations League group

Ukraine's hopes of promotion to the top tier of the UEFA Nations League were dashed on Saturday as they were relegated to League B after a 2-0 defeat in Georgia. The result leaves Ukraine bottom of their group, with just one point from their four matches.

Goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Giorgi Chakvetadze condemned Ukraine to defeat in Tbilisi, and the result means that they will now drop down to League B for the next edition of the competition.

It is a disappointing end to Ukraine's Nations League campaign, and it will be a major blow to their hopes of qualifying for the 2024 European Championship. Ukraine will now have to compete in the play-offs for a place at the tournament, and they will face an uphill task to reach the finals.

For Georgia, the victory is a major boost to their hopes of qualifying for a major tournament for the first time. They will now be seeded in the play-offs for the 2024 European Championship, and they will be confident of their chances of reaching the finals.

The defeat will be a major disappointment for Ukraine manager Andriy Shevchenko, who has been under pressure since Ukraine's poor performance at the 2020 European Championship. Shevchenko's future is now in doubt, and it is possible that he could be sacked before the start of the play-offs for the 2024 European Championship.
