Ukraine have cancelled their friendly international against the United States in Cyprus on Wednesday, national football federation president Anatoliy Konkov has confirmed.

"We cannot hold the national championship so what kind of football can we talk of at all? If we do not have an opportunity to play on home soil, why shall we go to Cyprus in those troubled times for your country?

"We play for our people and country. Our team do not fly to Cyprus and stay at home," Konkov told the ICTV channel.

The friendly, previously scheduled to take place in Kharkiv, had been moved to Cyprus because of Ukraine's unstable political situation and requests by the US.
Ukraine's Premier League have also postponed the restart of the domestic championship after the mid-season break.

According to the USSF, the game is still on as our players traveled to Cyprus, the site of the game, today. But canceling the game is obviously the right move.

Yeah cancelling the game is the right thing to do. It doesn't make sense to keep it when there's so much shit happening.

Yeah, you could say this was the most reasonable decision to make.

Should have played this shit in the US.
