How UPL teams are preparing for the start of the new championship of Ukraine - in our traditional review.

Poltava's Vorskla continues training camp in Slovenia, where they have already played their first control match, beating local Zilina 1-0. There are newcomers in the team, but the coaches do not want to disclose their names yet. Earlier, the Poltava club extended contracts with Vadim Sapay, Pavel Rebenko, Oleksandr Chyzhov, Oleksandr Kobakhidze, Oleksandr Sklyar and mentor Vasyl Sachko. Yevhen Martynenko from Chornomorets also joined the team.

Donetsk "Olympic" has already played four matches. Roman Sanjar's wards met with Obolon-Brovar (0: 1), PFC Sumy (3: 1), Desna (1: 0) and Kolos (0: 1). The official website of the Olympians also announced the return of defender Dmytro Hryshko to the team.

Shakhtar has completed its first training camp in Germany. On June 30, the team returned to Kyiv and received three days off. On July 3, Paulo Fonseca's charges will head to Austria, where they will play against Austria, Vitesse and Besiktas in the second meeting. In Germany, Donetsk beat Brondby (3: 2) and drew with Bulgarian CSKA (0: 0).

Dynamo Kyiv is also in full swing. Oleksandr Hatskevich suggested that footballers gain physical shape in the Austrian Alps. Goalkeeper of the national team of Ukraine Denis Boyko, whose contract previously belonged to Besiktas, went with the team as a full-fledged player of the capital club.

Zorya first trained at home and has now moved to Slovenia, where it will spend the next two weeks. Yuriy Vernidub recruited 26 players, including midfielder Dmytro Khomchenovsky, who recently played in Poland.

Another player who was called up to the national team is returning to the Ukrainian championship. It is about the ex-striker of "Dnipro" Denis Balanyuk, who after a trip to the "Vistula" will play on loan at the Kiev "Arsenal". The team itself, led by Fabrizio Ravanelli, held two sparring matches, both of which drew with Vinnytsia's Niva (1: 1) and Cherkasy Dnipro (0-0).

Volodymyr Sharan's Oleksandriya has already played two matches. In the first game on Bulgarian soil, the Alexandrians lost to the local club Beroe (0: 1), and then drew with another representative of Bulgaria - "Black Sea" (1: 1).

The newcomer of the Premier League, Chernihiv "Desna", will hold the second training camp in Poltava, on the basis of the football club "Poltava". Oleksandr Ryabokon's wards will go there on July 7 and stay there until the 18th. And before the Poltava training camp, Desna will play two more matches: on July 3, it will host Obolon-Brovar in Chernihiv, and on July 4, it will host Kolos (Kovalivka).

In turn, another newcomer to the UPL, FC Lviv, was left without a head coach, terminating his cooperation with Andriy Demchenko. At the same time, potential newcomers from Brazil - Marty, Sabino, Augusto and Bruno Eduardo - are being watched by the team.
