Vorskla Poltava's Vice President Oleh Lysak commented on the information that the club plans to build a new stadium.
- The media reported that Vorskla intends to demolish the Butovsky stadium and build a new arena in its place. Is it true?
- I can confirm that we are currently considering the idea of building a new modern stadium with 16-18 thousand seats. We have an understanding, worked out together with the City Development Institute, that the renovation of the Vorskla Butovskyi stadium should take place without closing the existing arena.
- How did Poltava City Council react to the request of Vorskla's president to transfer Butovskyi Stadium to the club's balance sheet? When will there be a decision, what did the mayor and the deputies say?
- Of course, the issue of the main sports arena of the region may seem out of time for the city council members in this difficult time, but we are preparing for a public discussion and believe that we will find a consensus.
- Tell us about the new arena: do you have a project already, when do you plan to start, what areas are planned for the stadium?
- We have pre-design proposals. The goal is to meet the international requirements for hosting matches of the highest level, the norms of FIFA/UEFA regulations. We also plan to create the most comfortable conditions for our fans: recreation areas, playgrounds, hospitality areas, etc.
- Whose idea was it to build the new stadium, how did Kostiantyn Zhevago react to it, or was it his idea?
- Our honorary president, Kostyantyn Zhevago, is actually the generator of this idea and we are in an active dialogue on the implementation of this idea.
