Ukraine’s Nicole Kozlova, who plays for Glasgow City, explains to Sky Sports just how arduous the journey is for her teammates to get to Turkey.
People need to realise – first, the girls need to get to Kyiv depending on where they live. Then it’s a 15-hour train ride with a five-hour standstill at the border, sometimes more.
They then have to take a flight all the way to Turkey, usually a midnight flight. So it takes at least 24 hours and every trip is like that. They’re kind of used to it now, but I know it never gets easier.
