General Director of Metalist 1925: "The match with Dynamo will be played without fans"

Andrey Nedelin, CEO of Metalist 1925, said that the match of the 18th round of the Ukrainian championship against Dynamo will be held without spectators.

"Will the match against Dynamo be played with fans? No, it won't, because Dynamo Stadium has not received a signature from the State Emergency Service and KMVA on certified shelters. Fans can only be admitted if there is a certified bomb shelter at or near the stadium within a radius of 300-400 metres. There is no such certified bomb shelter at the stadium and none near it.

Accordingly, it is impossible to get permission to hold a match with fans. We are 95% sure to hold the match with the number of people that is currently stipulated by the regulations for wartime competitions - 280 people for two teams," Nedelin said.
