Today's match of the 16th round of the Ukrainian championship between Minaj and Dynamo was postponed, among other things, due to the lack of artificial lighting at the stadium in Minaj. We invite you to read the articles of the regulations of theUkrainian Premier Leaguefootball championship of the 2023/24 season regarding this part:
Article 60. Lighting
