During his playing days with the club in the 1980s he was a skilful playmaker with great passing range and superb stamina. Slavia signed the 20-year-old Jarolím from Pardubice in 1977, but the midfielder won his only league title with crosstown rivals Dukla Praha during his military service in 1979. • Scored twice in 13 appearances for Czechoslovakia before moving to France, where he played for Rouen then Amiens during a four-year spell abroad. Jarolím returned home in 1991 and continued to play in the top flight until he was 39, finishing with 272 league games and 63 goals at that level. • Began his coaching career at FC Dukla (now 1.FK Příbram) in 1997, returning to Slavia as František Cipro's assistant in 2000. He replaced him as head coach ten games into the season and took Slavia to second place but his contract was not extended so Jarolím returned to France where he became assistant to Ivan Hašek at Strasbourg, helping the club to promotion. • After one year back in the Czech Republic at Slovácko he returned to Slavia in April 2005, winning league titles in 2008 and 2009. Guided Slovan Bratislava to the Slovakian double in 2011 before a spell in Saudi Arabia with Al-Ahli, who he took to the 2012 AFC Champions League final. • Jarolím, whose two sons David and Lukáš also became professional footballers, returned to his homeland with Mladá Boleslav in January 2014, winning the Czech Cup two years later. Appointed Czech Republic coach after UEFA EURO 2016, he was unable to take them to the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Andriy Shevchenko Date of birth: 29 September 1976 Nationality: Ukrainian Playing career: Dynamo Kyiv (twice), AC Milan (twice), Chelsea Coaching career: Ukraine (assistant), Ukraine • Shevchenko enjoyed phenomenal early success with Dynamo Kyiv, the club he joined as a schoolboy, winning five successive Ukrainian titles and contributing 60 top-flight goals, including a league-best tally of 18 in 1998/99; that same season he also jointly topped the UEFA Champions League charts with eight goals as Dynamo reached the semi-finals. • Joined Milan in July 1999 and hit the ground running, finishing top of the Serie A goal charts in his debut season (the first foreigner to achieve the feat) with 24 goals, a tally he would match the following campaign and again in 2003/04, when he led the listings once more as Milan won the Scudetto; won the Ballon d'Or in December 2004 to go with his six Ukrainian footballer of the year titles. • Won the UEFA Champions League with the Rossoneri in 2003, scoring the decisive spot kick in the final against Juventus to crown an injury-curtailed campaign; however, missed crucially from the spot in the 2005 showpiece against Liverpool. • Left Milan in 2006 with 127 Serie A and 37 European goals to his credit, but a move to Chelsea did not work out and he returned to Milan for an equally unsuccessful loan spell in 2008/09 before making the permanent move back to Dynamo a year later. • Ukraine's record scorer by a distance with 48 goals in 111 appearances, he captained the team to the quarter-finals of the 2006 FIFA World Cup and became the first player to reach the 100-cap milestone for Ukraine, in October 2010. Scored twice in a famous win against Sweden at UEFA EURO 2012, his international swansong; after a short-lived foray into politics, appointed assistant to Ukraine coach Mykhaylo Fomenko, taking over as head coach after UEFA EURO 2016 but losing out to Iceland and eventual runners-up Croatia in their qualifying section for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. 5 Czech Republic - Ukraine Thursday 6 September 2018 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit City Stadium, Uherske Hradiste Match officials Referee Anthony Taylor (ENG) Assistant referees Gary Beswick (ENG) , Adam Nunn (ENG) Additional assistant referees Paul Tierney (ENG) , Andre Marriner (ENG) Fourth official Lee Betts (ENG) UEFA Delegate Nebojša Ivkovic (SRB) UEFA Referee observer Peter Fröjdfeldt (SWE) Referee Name Date of birth UEFA matches Anthony Taylor 20/10/1978 0 37 UEFA Nations League matches between the two teams No such matches refereed Other matches involving teams from either of the two countries involved in this match Stage Date Competition Home Away Result Venue reached 31/07/2014 UEL 3QR FC Petrolul Ploieşti FC Viktoria Plzeň 1-1 Ploiesti 04/09/2014 U21 QR Ukraine Switzerland 2-0 Cherkassy 12/11/2014 U19 QR Ukraine Sweden 2-2 Shefayim 17/11/2014 U19 QR Israel Ukraine 0-5 Netanya 06/07/2015 U19 GS-FT Greece Ukraine 2-0 Veria 08/12/2015 UCL GS Paris Saint-Germain FC Shakhtar Donetsk 2-0 Paris 25/08/2016 UEL PO RSC Anderlecht SK Slavia Praha 3-0 Brussels 20/10/2016 UEL GS FC Shakhtar Donetsk KAA Gent 5-0 Lviv 6 Czech Republic - Ukraine Thursday 6 September 2018 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit City Stadium, Uherske Hradiste Competition facts What is the background to the UEFA Nations League?
