When will Scotland vs Ukraine be played? Full information on rearranged World Cup play-off semi-final as Wales await winner

Scotland's World Cup play-off semi-final against Ukraine is coming up soon.

The game was put on hold after Ukraine's football authorities made a request to FIFA in late February to have the match temporarily put back.

It followed the country being invaded by Russia and FIFA accepted Ukraine's request to postpone the fixture.

FIFA have been in constant dialogue with the Scottish Football Association (SFA), and given what has happened, the decision makes a lot of sense.

In its place, Scotland played Poland in a fundraising friendly for Ukraine as they look to support their World Cup play-off opponents.

The SFA announced that £10 from each ticket sold for that game will go to UNICEF's humanitarian response effort.

When will Scotland play Ukraine?

The World Cup play-off semi-final will take place on Wednesday, June 1, and will kick off at 7:45pm.

Whoever wins between Scotland and Ukraine will face off against Wales in the play-off final on Sunday June 5, for the right to play in the 2022 Qatar World Cup.

Following a long, hard season, Scotland still have a hectic fixture schedule with UEFA Nations League games scheduled to take place too.

Scotland will face Armenia twice and Republic of Ireland later in June.

Scotland v Ukraine: What has been said?

SFA chief executive Ian Maxwell said: "We have channeled that all through UEFA. The last things the Ukrainians need is more complications in terms of communication.

“You feel like a bit of a fraud and it doesn’t feel right to be concentrating too much on the games because first and foremost you want the conflict to stop and you want everything that’s happening over there to stop and things to return to some sort of normality, whatever that looks like over there.

“It’s a really delicate one. We want to play Ukraine, we want to play the winner of the Wales-Austria one in the final, and we want to qualify for Qatar. That’s the route that was laid out, that’s what we want to achieve, and we will do everything we can to make sure that’s a possibility.

“It’s all hypothetical at the moment and it’s probably inappropriate to go into too much detail because we just don’t know. It’s very much a case of seeing what happens with the conflict over the coming weeks and take things from there."
