Headquarters of the national team of Ukraine thanked the UPL clubs for agreeing to the changes to the calendar 2019/2020

Clubs of the Ukrainian Premier League went to meet the coaching staff of the national team of Ukraine.

In order to provide optimal conditions for the preparation of the national team of Ukraine for the finals of the European Championship 2020, the General Meeting of UPL participants by a majority vote approved changes to the calendar of the Premier League season 2019/2020.

The corresponding decision of the UPL General Meeting was referred to the UAF Executive Committee.

Currently, the proposed Spring 2019/2020 calendar looks like this:

- The 21st round is shifted from 07.03.2020 to 04.03.2020;

- The 22st round is shifted from 14.03.2020 to 07.03.2020;

- 1/4 of the final of the Cup of Ukraine is moved from 04.03.2020 to 11.03.2020;

- The 23st round is shifted from 21.03.2020 to 14.03.2020;

- rounds from the 24th to the 26th are shifted to 21.03.2020, 04.04.2020 and 11.04.2020 respectively;

- 1/2 of the final of the Cup of Ukraine is moved from 22.04.2020 to 15.04.2020;

- rounds from the 27th to the 30th are shifted to 18.04.2020, 22.04.2020, 25.04.2020 and 02.05.2020 respectively;

- The 31st round is shifted from 20.05.2020 to 09.05.2020;

- The 32st round is shifted from 24.05.2020 to 16.05.2020;

- the playoff matches will take place on 20.05.2020 and 24.05.2020, respectively.

The final decision on the calendar of the spring part of the 2019/2020 season in the Premier League and the Cup of Ukraine will be made by the UAF Executive Committee.

Head coach of the national team of Ukraine Andriy Shevchenko welcomed the decision of the General Meeting of the UPL.

- I want to thank the UPL clubs for agreeing to change the schedule of the Ukrainian championship, - said Andriy Shevchenko. - I have great respect for the calendar, each team and regulations. It is very nice that the clubs have understood our initiative to tighten the schedule of games in the spring.

Now I hope for a positive decision and the UAF Executive Committee. My request was primarily related to the desire to give before the preparation for Euro 2020 time to rest for the players of those teams that are most represented in the national team. I am sure that after the first stage of the Premier League, a calendar of the second stage will be formed, taking into account that candidates for the national team from the leading clubs must have time to recover after the championship and before preparing for the Euro in this extremely long season.
