In the First League of Ukraine in football, real problems broke out.

Odessa "Pearl" on its official website reported that the team withdraws from the championship and ceases to exist. The reason is quite trivial - financial problems.

The club has already sent a letter to the administration of the PFL (Professional League of Ukraine). Thus, the teams that were supposed to play with the "Pearl" are automatically counted victories. Recall that the "Pearl" was founded in 2013.

After 31 round in the asset of the Odessa team was only 27 points. They took the last line in the domestic championship.

Another club of the second-strength division of the country "Cherkasy Dnipro" is also experiencing real problems. The management of the team put the entire train on the transfer. As a result of the club meeting, it was decided to liquidate the legal entities of the team. "Cherkasy Dnipro" is now in the relegation zone - in their assets 28 points after 31 played match.

Another club of the First League Kharkiv "Helios" failed to collect players for the championship game against "Rukh". The duel, which was to be held on May 6, 2018, was officially canceled.

All because of the acute shortage of performers - after the three players were disqualified, and seven were injured, only 11 players remained in Kharkiv (8 field and 3 goalkeepers).

After the 31st round, "Helios" has 46 points and takes 6th position.
