Well-known journalist Mykola Nesenyuk touched on the topic of the Cup of Ukraine, which has not yet started this season, despite the fact that all the conditions for the tournament are in place.
Mykola Nesenyuk"It's April outside. There are about ten rounds left before the end of the current Ukrainian football championship, and at the beginning of June the 2022-2023 football season, held despite the war, will come to an end. And what about the Cup of Ukraine? With the second-ranked football competition of Ukrainian football players, which has been running its history since 1992? Everything is clear with last year's draw - it was suspended along with the championship after February 24, 2022. And what's next?
Let me remind you that unlike the football championship, which is formally held in different leagues by the "Premier League" and the "Professional Football League", the Ukrainian Cup recently belongs to the Ukrainian Football Association headed by Andrii Pavelek, who was recently re-elected to the UEFA Executive Committee. The mentioned association has not yet announced the fate of the second-ranked football tournament. Well, I haven't had time to think about it since last August! At least there is no information about the Cup of Ukraine on the official website of the UAF.
However, there are rumors according to which the UAF offered coaches of Ukrainian football teams a project of a new format for this year's Cup of Ukraine, which should be held in the spring. The proposal was unofficial, consider it secret. The only thing that can be said for sure is that those coaches who admitted that they received this project categorically disagreed with it, and also called it different words.
This was all back in January-February. Now it's April. Hey, UAF! Respond! Say something about the Cup of Ukraine! There won't be one this year? Then where is the official notification? Is there no one to do it? Is everyone busy? Then there are no questions. They forgot so they forgot. We will have to ask Ceferin, the newly re-elected UEFA president, to remind "friend Andriy" that it is not good to forget about the second-ranked football tournament of the country, whose football you lead!", Nesenyuk wrote on his page in the Facebook social network.
