Lviv is an opponent we know particularly well from the recent past. Our last WCL encounter was a smooth win: 37-22 (with one single game still running), our match in the Cities World Cup 2024 is considerably tighter: currently 25-20 with 7 games to go. So a reasonable estimate is that we need about 30 players. Everyone is invited to register.

So far, our performance in the current season is impressive: 3 points after three rounds and in the lead together with Shostka and Buenos Aires (see ranking below). Still, this depends on the particularly tight match against Prishtina. This is currently 25-24 in our favour, but all three results are still possible.
