As previously reported, Mariupol did not come out for the game against USCA. The president of the Mariupol team, Oleksandr Yaroshenko, commented on the situation.
Oleksandr Yaroshenko- Oleksandr Oleksandrovych, what is going on with FSC Mariupol, why did the team not come out for the match against USCA?
- The team did not come out for the game because of salary arrears, which amount to three months. There is no funding now, the money has run out. The game with USCA will not take place today.
- Is this due to the fact that the cooperation with the sponsor Cyrrex has ended?
- Yes, they did not pay the salary.
- What will happen next with the team?
- I don't know anything yet.
- Are you looking for investors?
- Yes, we are looking for investors.
- Earlier there were rumors that Yaroslav Rakytskyi could become an investor in the club.
- These are just talks, we have not had any negotiations with Rakytsky.
- None of the players and the coaching staff have terminated their contracts?
- So far, no one has terminated their contracts.
- Will Mariupol also not play in the next round if they don't pay off their wage arrears?
- For sure. We will see.
- Tribuna has published an investigation that says you seem to have a business in Mariupol that is already registered as Russian. What can you say about this?
- I was married without me.
- So it's your namesake who is listed in the Russian state register as one of the co-founders of Formula Zdorovya LLC?
- I told you: I was married without me. They entered me in the documents, but they can't take me out for two years.
- So you are listed there, but you cannot remove your data?
- Yes. I didn't enter, I didn't sign anything, and I didn't do anything.
