On Thursday, 27 July, the Football House hosted a working meeting of the UAF, UPL and PFL management with representatives of the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine and the National Police of Ukraine.
The topic of the meeting was to discuss changes to additional security measures for the organisation and holding of football matches in Ukraine among professional football clubs under martial law. In particular, in accordance with the requests received from football clubs, the possibility of increasing the number of accredited persons involved in the organisation of the match was considered.
Representatives of football and state authorities reached a consensus on this issue, deciding to send relevant appeals to regional/city military administrations and launch special commissions at the venues where UPL and PFL football matches will be held in the 2023/2024 season. They should soon provide information on the stadiums' ability to attract more people to football events, and in particular, the degree of readiness of the shelters to ensure the safety of match participants in the event of air raids.
