Israel is drawn to face Iceland in the qualifying playoffs for the European Championship, and Ukraine is paired with Bosnia-Herzegovina.
The winners of those two games will then face each other next March for a place at Euro 2024 in Germany, setting up a potential decisive match between Israel and Ukraine.
Both Ukraine and Israel must currently play “home” games in a neutral country for security reasons because their own country is at war. Israel was drawn as the host against Iceland, while Bosnia is at home against Ukraine.
Israel has never qualified for the European Championship since becoming a member of UEFA in 1994.
