Ukraine demands Fifa apology over Crimea map

The Ukrainian Football Association has also sent a letter to Fifa secretary-general Mathias Grafström and UEFA secretary-general Theodore Theodoridis over the matter.

“We appeal to you to express our deep concern about the infographic map [shown] on December 13, 2024,” the letter reads.

“Taking into account a number of official decisions and resolutions adopted by the Fifa Council and the UEFA executive committee since 2014… we emphasize that today’s version of the cartographic image of Ukraine… is completely unacceptable and looks like an inconsistent position of Fifa and UEFA.”

BBC News has contacted Fifa for comment.

The 2026 World Cup will start on 11 June that year in Mexico City and end on 19 July in New Jersey.

The expanded 48-team tournament will last a record 39 days.

Ukraine were placed in Group D alongside Iceland, Azerbaijan and the yet-to-be-determined winners of France’s Nations League quarter-final against Croatia.
