UPL Executive Director Yevhen Dykyy commented on the situation regarding Ingulets' refusal from the VAR system, which Rukh was ready to pay for and provide in a head-to-head match of the Ukrainian championship.
“In accordance with the procedure, all the necessary requests [about the use of VAR in the Ingulets vs. Rukh match] were sent to FC Ingulets. But we did not receive an official response from them," Dyky summed up.
Note that the UPL commission decides which match will use the VAR system. The rest of the clubs can order a video surveillance system for the match at their own expense, which Rukh took advantage of. However, this requires the consent of the two clubs. And since Ingulets refused, the use of VAR unilaterally is impossible.
