Ukraine plans to resume competitive football in the country in August despite being under attack by Russia after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy gave approval.

Andriy Pavelko, the president of Ukraine’s football federation, revealed details to The Associated Press about his talks with Zelenskyy and the heads of FIFA and UEFA about finding a safe way of playing men’s and women’s matches on home soil.

Ukraine was forced to abandon its leagues in February when Russia began an invasion that, according to Zelenskyy, has led to “at least tens of thousands” of Ukrainian civilians dying and large swaths of many cities and towns being bombed into rubble.

But as Russian forces have been redeployed to the east and south, fighting has subsided in the area near the capital Kyiv and elsewhere. There is optimism sport can resume to lift the spirits of the nation, which is trying to qualify for the World Cup on Sunday by winning away at Wales.

“I spoke with our president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, about how important football is to distract,” Pavelko said in an interview with the AP, surrounded by Ukraine jerseys and a tactics board in the team meeting room in Cardiff. “From the children to the old people, everyone is focused on the war. Every day they receive information about deaths, about the impact of the war.

“We spoke about how football has a very big power to help people think about the future because now people, of course, are not in a good mindset. They’re in the worst mood. We spoke about how it would be possible that football could help us to think about the future.”

That is a future with players being able to take to the field again in Ukraine to provide uplifting sports moments of joy.

“So we took the decision with the president that we would resume the Ukrainian championship in August,” Pavelko said through a translator. “In Ukraine we will play on every level. So the Premier League, and the first and second professional divisions, and women’s championship.

“At all levels we will start in August. The decision was taken with the president of Ukraine.”

Pavelko met Zelenskyy before leaving Ukraine for Glasgow to see the World Cup playoff semifinal win over Scotland on Wednesday. Pavelko then went on to see FIFA President Gianni Infantino in Paris and UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

“I informed them that we will resume the championships in the war time in Ukraine ... under the bombs and we count on their support,” Pavelko said. “We are discussing the details.”

The government prohibits men from 18 to 60 from leaving Ukraine to keep them available for war duties, although footballers have been allowed abroad to play for teams, and Pavelko has flown to key meetings. But he did broadcast live to the UEFA Congress in Vienna last month via his phone from a stadium in Chernihiv that had been attacked by Russia, to show the damage inflicted.

It is not yet clear which parts of the country will be used for league matches.

“We will speak with our military board and the government to discuss how to organize it safely,” Pavelko added.

Shakhtar Donetsk was leading the standings when the season was suspended in February and then officially declared over in April, giving it a place in the lucrative group stage of the Champions League next season.

Shakhtar has been living with uncertainty in exile for eight years. The team has not played in Donetsk since 2014 when forced out by a Russian-backed conflict in its home region of eastern Ukraine, which remains the scene of intense fighting.

Manchester United will be bidding for a sixth win in seven Premier League games when they host Newcastle United on Sunday.

The Red Devils followed up their 6-3 humiliation at the hands of Manchester City with battling away wins over Omonia Nicosia in the UEFA Europa League and Everton in the top flight.

They hosted the Cypriot side on Thursday, when an injury-time goal from Scott McTominay secured a 1-0 win after they had been thwarted by a redoubtable defensive display and a brilliant performance from visiting goalkeeper Francis Uzoho, a Man United fan.

They were 4-1 winners in this fixture last season, when Cristiano Ronaldo marked his Old Trafford homecoming with a double, but that was against a very different Newcastle side. In their post-takeover era and with Eddie Howe in charge, this match represents a good opportunity for the Magpies to record their first away win over the 20-time champions of England since 2013.

Manchester United vs. Newcastle United lineups

 Cristiano Ronaldo starts in place of Anthony Martial, while Marcus Rashford drops to the bench and Christian Eriksen is out of the squad altogether. The hosts are still without Donny van de Beek (muscular), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (undisclosed) and Harry Maguire (thigh), while Scott McTominay, who scored the injury-time winner against Omonoia this week, is suspended.

Goalkeeper David de Gea is set to receive a special presentation on the pitch as he prepares for his 500th appearance for the club.

Striker Alexander Isak (thigh) is close to a return but will not be available at Old Trafford, while Emil Krafth is back in Sweden recovering from a knee injury. There was a major blow on Saturday when it emerged that Allan Saint-Maximin has suffered a setback after returning to action against Brentford and will also miss the game in Manchester.

Joe Willock is on the bench and is replaced by Joelinton in Newcastle's only change from their previous match.

Manchester United vs. Newcastle United betting odds

Given Newcastle's poor record at Old Trafford — it's been nearly nine years since they last won a league game at this ground — the bookies make Man United favourites for the three points.

Still, Newcastle's thrashing of Brentford last time out, and the Red Devils' difficulty in taking their chances against Everton and Omonia, make a low-scoring draw something of a tempting option.
