Second League. Now every region will have its own representative in professional football

The PFL Conference, scheduled for June 27, should not only approve the rosters of all-Ukrainian competitions in the new season, but also decide in what format the second-league rivalry will take place: there will be one group or teams will be divided into two zones again by territorial principle.

If we take into account that the debut of Uzhhorod's Minaya will take place soon, now each region will have its own representative in professional football. By the way, despite the fact that this team was created only in 2015, its progress can not but rejoice. Gradually overcoming all steps, Transcarpathians deservedly rose in class. But, in the end, could it have been otherwise, because the sporting honor of this town, which is 5 km from Uzhgorod, is protected by several players who have experience in the elite division: Mykhailo Kopolovets, Dmytro Babenko, Oleg Dopilka, Vladislav Mykulyak… and FC management, which cares about the development of club infrastructure. In particular, a new stadium was put into operation last week, where Minai will host its rivals. And it is believed that Igor Kharkivshchenko's wards will not stop there.

In general, even now, although the selection work in the second league teams is still in full swing, we can predict a very sharp struggle for leadership. Veres will play in this division again, but since the reconstruction of Avangard Stadium is being delayed in Rivne, the team will have to play home matches in one of the district centers of the region. By the way, on June 14 the new head coach of "Veres" became the well-known in the past football player Vladimir Gomenyuk who in the spring was one of assistants of the then manager Yury Svirkov.

Kalush has regained its place among the teams of masters, although, apparently, only fans with experience remember that 20 years ago Prykarpattia already played in the second league. Their current progress can be explained by the productive work of the coaching staff headed by Vasyl Malik.

We will not be mistaken if we say that we are looking forward to the start of the new season in Zhytomyr as well. After all, I remember when the club management invited to head Polissya, a well-known football player in the past, and now - a promising coach Alexander Prizetko, he was set a task in 2019 to rise in the class. As you can see, there is no time to swing. Meanwhile, his best scorer Viktor Korovikov left the ranks of Polissya.

After the end of last season, Volodymyr Nike, Yevhen Nemtinov and Vadym Ukrainets - and Bukovyna - were left quite unexpectedly without leaders. However, head coach Viktor Mhlynets is not intimidated by this, especially since Chernivtsi does not lack talented players. So, a few days ago "Bukovyna" became the bronze prize-winner of the championship of Ukraine among 19-year-old football players in the first league.

And in conclusion - about perturbations in the Zaporozhye football economy. Last season, local footballers became boys for beating in Group B. Fortunately, the case did not reach the disappearance of the team of masters in Zaporozhye. Local authorities have taken care of the creation of a new IFC "Metalurg", whose head coach was a popular striker in the past Oleg Taran. By the way, at one time he proved himself well in Zaporozhye and as a mentor, although he achieved the greatest success at the helm of "Kryvbas". Another well-known master in the past, Olympic champion Yevhen Yarovenko, will help Taran. Let's hope that these specialists will take care of the revival of a combat-ready team in Zaporizhia…
