difficult! Ukrainian Long March 16-hour fight against the British Army- Now Sports

【Now Sports】Ukraine travels to Wembley for the European Nations Cup qualifier against England. The maximum travel time from departure to arrival is 16 hours.

Ukrainian coach Roslan Rotan has already stated that any challenge the team faces is dwarfed by the frontline soldiers defending the country against the Russian invasion, but facing the closure of the country’s airport, the team will play in this game. As a guest race, the time spent on traffic alone is already very long.

The British “Sun” reported that a group of national team members and military doctors first took an 11-hour and 45-minute train from Dynamo, the capital of Kiev, to Przemysl in Poland, and then took a two-hour bus to reach 50. Miles away from Resov in southeastern Poland, and then take a 2-hour and 9-minute flight to London Stansted Airport, and a 90-minute bus to the team’s hotel, a total of 16 hours.

As for another group of professional players, it took 5 hours by train to reach Resov, where they joined the army and took the plane. In fact, Ukraine does not currently have a home arena. If you want to play a home game, you need to rent a stadium from a neighboring country. Playing an away game is like a game against the British army. It takes a long time in terms of transportation.
