On Thursday, August 17, the Committee for stadiums and security of FFU competition decided to continue the match FDA and the Ukrainian Cup 2017/18 season in Mariupol.

In this regard, FC Dynamo Kiev on the official website issued the following statement:.

"We believe that by their decision the members of the corresponding FFU committee, including its head Gennady Prokopovich, as well as the president of FFU, Andrei Pavelko, assumed full responsibility for holding matches of the championship, championships of all ages and the Cup of Ukraine in Mariupol.

We regret that the Committee for Stadiums and Safety of FFU competitions recognized the possibility of gathering for processing, reviewing and approving such an important decision already after the start of the competition, and not before they start. And they forced the federation to publicize its official position on this resonant issue - only the active reaction of the media and the football community.

After detailed acquaintance with the documented decision of the Committee on stadiums and safety of FFU competitions, we reserve the right to appeal it to the appellate courts provided by the football regulations - in the event that FC Dynamo considers the arguments that guided the committee to be insufficient by adopting this decision ".
