The new helmsman of the team from Horishniy Plavniy became Serhiy Diryavka, a well-known football player in the past, who recently worked in the coaching staff of "VPC-Agro" and "Peremogy".

The club management set him the task of keeping his registration in the first league. It will be difficult to do this, because Hirnyka-Sport has significant personnel problems.

And the favorite, "Polissya", played another sparring match at the foreign meeting in Turkey, signing a peace agreement with one of the strongest teams of Uzbekistan - "Nasaf". Vasyl Hrytsuk opened the score, but at the end of the match, the opponents equalized the situation - 1:1. Now it's the turn of Yuriy Kalitvyntsev's wards to participate in the Winter Cup international tournament.

Two more contenders for promotion, "LNZ" and "Karpaty", are active in the transfer market. The team from Cherkasy added Vitaly Boyk, Nazariy Nych, Oleksandr Nasonov, Ilya Kovalenko and Serhiy Shestakov. Andriy Storchous and Andriy Lyashenko will no longer play for LNZ.

As for Lviv, they also signed two performers with experience in the elite division — Danylo Knysh and Taras Sakiv.

And the football players of "Dinazu" even managed to take part in the Oleg Makarov Memorial and beat the UPL representative "Kolos" in a sparring match - 2:0. Andriy Voloshyn and Tymofiy Kalenchuk distinguished themselves. On view is a quartet of potential newcomers.

Metalurg also started preparing for new tests. The first stage of preparation will be held in Zaporizhzhia. Head coach Volodymyr Mykytin no longer counts on Ihor Levchenko and Vladyslav Borysenko.
