"Ukrainian community in Canada has always supported our national team worldwide and now it is our turn to visit them," Andriy Shevchenko, president of the Ukrainian Association of Football, said in a statement."Canada is a strong partner of Ukraine and we are pleased to accept this invitation." "We are used to playing against African teams, but this time, we will have the chance to test ourselves against North American and Oceanian teams, who have a different style of play," he added in a statement."It’s a fantastic opportunity for our development."
Pelley says MLSE plans to"create as many opportunities for the Canadian national team to compete against the world's best football/soccer nations. BMO Field is owned by the City of Toronto but managed by MLSE which owns the stadium's two major tenants — Major League Soccer's Toronto FC and the CFL's Argonauts
“Every competitive match from now until the World Cup will be critical to get our team the preparation it needs ahead of welcoming the world next year," Marsch said in a statement."This is an extraordinary addition to our annual competitive calendar and to be able to play at home in front of our fans again will be really special for our guys."
