England's manager Sarina Wiegman said the Women's World Cup qualifier against Ukraine in Antalya, Turkey, is safe amid regional tensions, after receiving reassurances from local authorities. The match, scheduled for 17:00 GMT on Tuesday, will be played as Ukraine cannot host due to the war with Russia.
Wiegman noted that while some fans may withdraw following recent Middle East unrest, the team remains in close contact with Turkish officials and feels secure. She expressed sadness that Ukraine must play away from home and hopes the game brings unity and joy.
