Among duels, which will determine the quarter-finals of the Cup of Ukraine, we can distinguish three, which caused not only great interest (Kalush, Cherkasy), but also a real hype among the fans (Minaj).

Suffice it to say that in the suburbs of Uzhhorod, in order to somehow alleviate the passions around the insane shortage of tickets to the confrontation with Dynamo, they decided to urgently mount a temporary one in front of the stationary tribune for a thousand and a half seats. However, there is one nuance: since the cost of installing one seat is 400 hryvnias, this could not but affect ticket prices, which range from 250 to 400 hryvnias. To avoid speculation, tickets are sold only at the stadium box office, no more than two in one hand.

By the way, as the PR-manager of FC "Minay" Oleksandra Terembets said, their colleagues from "Dynamo" do not organize the departure of their fans. However, Kyiv residents will not be left without support: according to representatives of the Minay fan movement, more than a hundred fans of the capital club are going to attend the match. In general, the management of FC Minai is making efforts to make Dynamo's visit to Zakarpattia an event of the year. In excellent condition of the lawn, meet the requirements of today's locker room, you can be sure that the stands will be a festive atmosphere…

Tomorrow the cozy stadium "Khimik" in Kalush will be filled to the brim, where "citizens" will host "Dnipro-1". In the match of the previous round with "Metalist 1925" 4500 spectators gathered in the stands. Prykarpattia head coach Vasyl Malik hopes that there will be even more of them this Wednesday. Especially since the cost of tickets is quite affordable - 50 UAH. Malik's wards' successful performance in the cup tournament forced the interested organizations to take care of installing a new scoreboard on Khimik. The only thing that worries me is the condition of the lawn. The fact is that there is only one stadium in Kalush, and it is maximally loaded: a team of masters and reservists play calendar matches and trainings here… This should be taken into account by the Dnipro coaching staff, because this team relies on multi-pass combinations - fast transition from defense to attack.

But the club bosses of Cherkasy-Academy decided to hold a cup match with Karpaty not at the home arena in Bilozir'ya, but at the central stadium of the regional center. First, it is unlikely that Lviv residents would agree to play on an artificial surface in Bilozir'ya. Secondly, the stands of the local sports facility are designed for a thousand seats, while, according to the head coach of "Cherkasy-Academy" Alexander Kirilyuk, there is a lively interest of fans to the arrival of "Carpathians", and the presence of three or four thousand spectators. Only in Cherkasy the condition of the lawn is problematic, although the "academics" have not played matches there for several months. On the other hand, the lawn, like the weather conditions, is the same for both teams.
