  1. ↑ As the runners-up and a quarter-final winner, Ukraine originally qualified for the World Cup. However, on 6 July, it was announced that the Ukrainian Association of Football had refused to sanction the participation of the team at the World Cup. [3] It was reported that the decision was made as part of a wider sporting boycott of Russia by Ukrainian authorities due to ongoing tensions between the two states. [4] As the next best-placed team in the qualifiers, Switzerland were chosen to replace Ukraine at the World Cup. [3]
