The Ukrainian national team will meet Belgium in the first match of the Nations League play-off. The game will take place at the 'Enrique Roca de Murcia' stadium in Murcia, Spain. The match will be officiated by a team of referees from Switzerland.

The main referee will be Sandro Scherer, and his assistants are Stefan De Almeida and Jonas Erni. The fourth official is Lionel Chudi. The VAR system will be managed by Fedai San and Lukas Fendrich.
