Despite ongoing war with Russia, Ukrainian Premier League to start in August

 


Ukrainian Premier League is set to commence in August amid Russia’s ongoing war.


Ukrainian Youth and Sport Minister, Vadym Gutsait, made the announcement on Monday via his official Facebook page.


“The Ukrainian football championship will start on August 23,” Mr Gutsait said. “We agreed to work out… the procedure for organising and holding competitions under martial law.”

Mr Gutsait said games will be played without “spectators” and “during air raids, matches will be stopped and football players, coaches and the staff must quickly go to a shelter.”


Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February had abruptly ended the country’s football league, with Shakhtar Donetsk leading Dynamo Kyiv by two points. But no winner was declared.
