On Sunday, June 18, at 21:15 Kyiv time, the men's national team of Ukraine will hold the final match of the group round of the European Golden League 2023.
This match will not have tournament significance for both teams, because the national team of Ukraine already guaranteed a place in the semifinals of the tournament even after the match of the fourth round. And North Macedonia no longer has a chance to get there.
