Austria's U19 Women's Team Faces Travel Hurdles: First Qualifying Match Canceled

Thu 3rd Apr, 2025

The Austrian U19 women's football team, guided by coach Markus Hackl, was set to play their inaugural qualifying match against Ukraine on Tuesday evening in Burton-on-Trent. However, the match did not proceed as planned due to significant travel issues that prevented the Ukrainian team from entering England.

The disruption arose from the implementation of new entry regulations that took effect on Wednesday, requiring travelers to acquire an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) to enter the UK. This requirement likely posed a challenge for the Ukrainian players, ultimately leading to their absence from the match.

The implications of this canceled match on the tournament's progression remain uncertain. Meanwhile, in a parallel fixture, England, considered a strong contender in the group, achieved a resounding 6-0 victory over Belgium. The Austrian team is scheduled to face the Lionesses on Saturday at 3 PM at St. George's Park, presenting a crucial opportunity for the team to compete against a formidable opponent.
