The UPL matchday 19 game between FC Vorskla Poltava and FC Dynamo Kyiv that was supposed to be an away one for our team will take place in Kyiv.
As informed by the Poltava side, the turf of the Oleksii Butovskyi Vorskla Stadium is ready for the match, but due to the instability of the power supply and low temperatures at night during the week, the state of the field at the time of the start of the match may not comply with the Regulations on stadium infrastructure and safety measures for football competitions.
Thus the Vorskla management addressed their colleagues from Oleksandria to hold the game at Nika Stadium, which Poltava side declared as their reserve stadium, but they were refused. As a result, Vorskla addressed Dynamo with a request to hold the game at the Valerii Lobanovskyi Stadium, and our club agreed. At the same time, organizational and security measures, by prior agreement, are taken by Dynamo.
The game will start on Friday, February 28, at 15:30.
