MOSCOW, Apr 12 The International Football Federation (FIFA) must provide the Ukrainian national team a ticket to the 2026 World Cup without participating in a qualifying tournament, says former Liverpool head coach Kenny Dalglish. Earlier, the semi-final match of the qualifying butt tournament for the right to enter the 2022 World Cup in Qatar between Ukrainians and Scots was postponed due to events in Ukraine . It will take place in June. The winner of the meeting will compete for a ticket to the world championship with the Wales team. «You need to show great respect for the players of the Ukrainian national team and their federation. It's not their fault that they are in this position. Most of the team does not play in Ukraine, but they still have families that have been hit hard. I think it's unfair to put pressure on them in any way. Maybe give them a little olive branch (of the world) and say, «You'll go straight to the next world championship. You don't have to qualify.» It would be a way to show respect. I think it would be nice if they want to give it to them,» Scottish Sun quotes Dalglish. The 2026 World Cup will be held in the US, Canada and Mexico.
