So if the Scottish media are right and the final is June 5th. What would that mean for our NL away game in Poland? That then becomes a World Cup warm up game slash NL |

If the 5 June date is correct,I reckon our new fixtures will be something like-
1 June Poland away (Scotland/Ukraine semi final same day)
5 June Play off final
9 June Netherlands home
13 June Belgium home
16 June Netherlands away
Or one day either side here and there depending on how big a gap they want between games

If this rumour is true then it's a crazy solution.
Instead of having Scotland Vs Ukraine on the same day we have Poland, or on the day they're playing them anyway, and us either cancelling one game- either Netherlands home or Belgium home, (when the stadium is booked anyway) The suggestion is to move around every other fixture and cause maximum disruption........actually this is UEFA we're talking about, so it is probably true!!

The Nations League away matches against Poland and the Netherlands are scheduled to be played on the 3rd and 13th June respectively. Hundreds of Welsh supporters, myself included, have booked flights and accommodation for these dates as well as booking time off work. If the dates for these two matches are changed are FIFA/UEFA/FAW going to compensate supporters if they have to rebook/cancel flights and hotels? I won't be holding my breath because FIFA and UEFA don't give a monkey's when it comes to the interests of supporters, in particular those of the smaller countries such as Wales. You only have to look back to the shambles that was Euro 2021.

Why would everyone in our group move games when tickets etc already sold. It would be bonkers. Seems like the SFA were at a meeting in Switzerland today to sort this. If there is no announcement in the next day or two, then **** knows what is going to happen. They’ve had a month to sort this. |

Quite frankly, this is getting beyond tedious. Ukraine is not a special case. Of the other countries already in the actual World Cup: Saudi Arabia is at war in Yemen, with circa 31,000 casualties annually. Iran and Qatar are both heavily involved in sponsoring the war in Lebanon, Syria and Israel.
Cameroon major war v Boko Haram as well as a civil war with the English-speaking population.
Mexico is the 2nd largest country in the world in terms of casualties from their Drug Wars - circa 34.000 annually.
Other war zones that are still able to qualify are: China, Iraq and Lebanon
Where was the FAW's stance last year when playing two of our Euro matches in a country that just one year earlier have massacred 8000 Armenians and displaced over 100.000 others?
The United Kingdom and the United States have been shamelessly peddling weaponry and creating artificial conflict since the Elizabethan times... The first one!
Either we keep Sport and Politics apart - or we don't?
Come on man, this is obviously crap (apart from your point on the US and UK). None of those countries are facing an existential threat to their existence. Ironically, the one other comparable place would be Palestine which you haven't mentioned, curiously. Yes. I agree with you completely. Israel has been bombarded throughout 2021 with over 5000 missiles.
Bought with Iranian and Qatari money. Great point.

What tickets have been sold? Prawn sandwich brigade? Fixtures are always subject to change, and with covid, anybody who booked non refundable options it’s on them imo. |

Contrary to popular belief it seems, other nations sell tickets to fans too. So if we play Netherlands on the 9th for example (no tickets sold yet) they can’t play Poland on the 10th. Tickets have gone on sale for that game. in other news, when we move our home games, the away team have also booked flights and hotels. I couldn’t agree more with the last bit, sadly. |

When the Belgium home game will be I don’t know. 17th or so I guess. Presumably Harry Wilson will be suspended for the Poland game? Edit daily record reporting it will be announced tomorrow as semi on 1 June and final on 5 June. |

He was sent off against Denmark in Euro 2020. I dont know whether the ban is served against Nations League fixtures as UEFA or whether it waits until Euro 2024 qualifying in March 2023. |

Poland will be on the 1st, as will Scotland v Ukraine. Netherlands home will move from 6th to 7th, with everything else remaining as is. 1st June Poland away 4th June Play off final 7th June Netherlands home 10th June Belgium home 13th June Netherlands away 3 day gap between each game; and only the Poland and Netherlands home game needing any change. |

We already have a game on the 13th & one on the 10th, so if anything I’d think they would stay as it is rather than play a different match the same day or a day earlier. |

The rest is speculation on here FSA are saying wait until it’s confirmed but looks like it’ll be disclosed soon. They were replying to a tweet by Wales Away Days saying about the updated schedule which was what as posted above. Unfortunately I do think it’ll be that schedule. Seems crazy but hopefully we find out soon. |

Yeah hope you are right but this is what is doing the rounds. Doesn’t make sense to move 4 games to fit one in just for us let alone other countries as well For me, common sense would be Ukraine vs Scotland NL match doubles up as the World Cup qualifier and then postpone the next home match for the playoff final |
