After the relegation of the First League Khust, the sword of Damocles hung over another representative of this division, Mariupol, who did not appear for the match against FC YukSA in Round 12. The director of FC Mariupol, Pavlo Lyakhov, told us about the latest news from the team's location:

This game will take place thanks to well-wishers who have allocated the necessary 80 thousand hryvnias for its organization. Next up for us is a trip to Zaporizhzhia, which requires no less money. We are now deciding who else can lend a hand. The second absence will lead to disqualification.
The information that the coaching staff, players, and club staff have been in arrears for more than three months is true. This failure was due to the fact that the general sponsor, Kyrrex, temporarily stopped funding. Of course, efforts are being made to normalize the situation, but it remains tense," Lyakhov said.
Mariupol has 12 points and ranks sixth in Group B of the first league.
