Metalist 1925 CEO Andriy Nedelin commented on the information that UPL clubs may include Minai in the league instead of Dnipro-1.
- Yes, indeed, a general meeting of UPL clubs is scheduled for tomorrow, July 16, at 12:00, where the issue of the situation with Dnipro-1 and its consequences will be raised. "Metalist 1925 reacts quite calmly to such publications, especially since nothing depends on us.
But I would like to note that many people are not sufficiently aware or misinterpret the UPL regulations. The regulations clearly state that the decision on the composition of the UPL participants is made exclusively by the UAF Executive Committee on the basis of proposals from the clubs. The statement that the UPL members will vote to include Minaj in the UPL is purely provocative and does not coincide with reality.
That is, theoretically, based on the regulations, several proposals can be submitted to the UAF. We have heard at least three from the press: expansion of the membership, a playoff between Metalist 1925 and Minaj, and a four-way tournament. Therefore, it is premature to make such conclusions, because no one knows how many and what proposals will be put forward by the participants of the general meeting, which the UPL is obliged to provide to the UAF, "Nedelin said.
