"On Tuesday, at about 5 pm, the Carpathians sent an official letter to FC Olympique and the Premier League with a clear and understandable proposal: to finish the unfinished match of the 18th round, stopped due to force majeure, on Thursday, December 7, at 13 : 00 at the Ukraine stadium in Lviv ", - quotes the official site of the Carpathians Gordienko.

"In addition, as a step that was supposed to emphasize our attitude to the problem, we offered Olympics our help and covering the financial expenses for the road from Kiev to Lviv and returning back to the capital. In particular, we were ready to provide our rival with a club bus ".

"In accordance with the Rules (Article 10, paragraph 1 and paragraph 3), we could not play at another stadium. I quote paragraph 1 of the Regulations: "The main stadium, where the home matches of the main team of the club are held, should be located on the territory of the settlement at the place of state registration of the club".

"I am now quoting paragraph 3:" Matches are held in the stadiums declared by the club when attending the relevant competitive season ". Neither any of the stadiums in Kiev, nor even Arena Lviv, which is now remembered in the comments, Carpathians for the matches in this season were not announced. So the Carpathians do not refuse to play in Kiev, the Carpathians refused to violate the Rules, "said Gordienko.

Recall that the Carpathians and Olympique could not finish the match because of the snow.
