A meeting of the PFL Central Council was held with the use of modern means of communication. Members of the PFL Central Committee voted for membership in the league of FC "Olympic" (Donetsk), inclusion of this team in the first league and exclusion from the PFL of FC "Minai" due to the fact that this club remained in the UPL championship .

FC "Flint" was withdrawn from the group "B" of the second league. This team is approved in the first league. Instead «Nikolaev» on own initiative will continue performances in the second league.

Although the preparation of the first league clubs has reached the finish line, it is still unknown who will lead the "Olympic" in the new season, because the contract with the previous head coach, Roman Sanjar, has been terminated.
