Before the Ukraine-Finland World Cup qualification match, a march of fans took place in Odessa. It started at Cathedral Square 2 hours before the match. Participation in the march was attended by about fifty fans.

Fans walked down Deribasovskaya Street and then the organized column marched to the “Chornomorets” stadium. During the march, the fans burned flares, chanted patriotic slogans, sang the Ukrainian anthem, and a “hit” about Putin.

On the way, the Ukrainian fans crossed paths with the Finnish, but everything went quietly and without incident. Security was provided by the police and the National Guard. Traffic on the streets of Odessa was partially blocked.
