On July 15, Ukraine will host the match of the Ukrainian Supercup in Odessa, in which fans will face the classic confrontation between Shakhtar and Dynamo.
About the criteria for choosing the venue, traditions and spectator interest in the match, the president of the ULP Vladimir Geninson.
"We did not have a choice a year and a half ago. As soon as we started negotiations, we got so open hugs from the mayor's office that there was no choice. For us, Odessa is the first Ukrainian football city ".
"All the same, the first football came to tsarist Russia through Odessa from the British sailors. It's a pearl by the sea, and we're trying to do everything to make the Super Bowl pass here ".
"Previously, the European Super Cup was held in Monaco, people sought to get there. And I will strive to do everything that ours took place in Odessa ".
"I want to thank Director of the Stadium Sergei Sivolap - you made an amazing field, very beautiful. Also many thanks to the representative of TM Parimatch Vadim Misyura and everyone who helps to make this holiday ".
"I would like to popularize football. We do not want children to go somewhere in virtual reality, we need to play football ".
"We have an analogue - Superbowl, we do not want to give him anything. We strive to ensure that all tickets for six months were sold out. 23 thousand tickets have already been sold, since yesterday the fans have purchased 2.5 thousand, "- summed up Geninson.
