The draw for the European groups of the 2026 World Cup was held last Friday in Zurich, but an error occurred for which UEFA apologised. When indicating which teams could not be in the same group due to geopolitical problems, a map was shown with shaded areas to indicate the various countries. When Ukraine was shown, the shaded area did not include Crimea, a Ukrainian region annexed by Russia in 2014. The Ukrainian Football Federation immediately wrote a letter to FIFA, which promptly apologised.
