Minaya president Valeriy Peresolyak insists that the club's home stadium should regain admission to host UPL matches, despite the lack of artificial lighting on it.

But now we must be allowed to play as before. As soon as the war ends with our victory, we are ready to change the stadium arrangements (we are talking not only about the stadium "Minai", but also about the stadium "Avangard" in Uzhgorod, whose certificate for UPL matches is also revoked due to problems with artificial lighting - ed.). Moreover, in spring the problem of light will not be relevant at all. The daylight hours in March lasts up to 19 hours and then goes on increasing.
All matches in Transcarpathia start at 13:00. It was so even in the summer. And it was the request of the UPL, broadcasters and rival teams for logistical reasons. Because everyone adjusts to the trains to leave Uzhgorod in time. Therefore, even if we install the light now, 90 per cent - that we will never use it once," Ukrainian Football quotes Peresolyak as saying.
