Wider: “We would have been ready”

The last group game, which was scheduled for November 17th, was canceled a few hours before kick-off due to several corona cases with the Ukrainian team. Uefa awarded the SFV selection the forfeit victory because in their eyes the Ukrainians were responsible for the fact that the game in Lucerne could not take place.

“Of course we would have been even more pleased about three points we won on the pitch in the international match window that we had planned last week. We would have been ready for it. Now the Uefa has decided and we are pleased that the Nati can also play in League A of the Nations League in the future ”, Robert Breiter, Secretary General of the SFV, is quoted in the press release.
