Ukrainian women's team is preparing for a crucial match today. Poltava Vorskla will face Guria from Georgia in the second round of the 2025/26 Women's Champions League qualification.
"Every qualification match is like a final for us," a team representative might say about today's challenge.
The game kicks off at 12:00 Kyiv time and will take place in Šiauliai, Lithuania. Interesting fact - neither team gets to play on home soil for this important fixture.
The stakes couldn't be higher. The winner of this match-up will advance to the decisive qualification round, where they'll meet whoever emerges victorious between Lithuania's "Gintra" and Romania's "Farul". That final qualification match is scheduled for August 30th.
Both teams have traveled to Lithuania with determination. Will "Vorskla" manage to overcome their Georgian opponents and move one step closer to the prestigious Women's Champions League group stage?
