The management of Zaporizhzhya Metallurg on the official website announced that the club ceases to exist.

"Metallurg" did not receive a certificate for participation in the Second League of the Ukrainian Championship for the season-2018/19. The official reason for this decision FFU was the late submission of documents regarding the venue of home matches.

"The certification committee of the FFU rejected the appeal of the Zaporozhye Metallurgist, thus making it impossible for our club to participate in professional competitions. The stumbling block was the delay in the submission of documents regarding home matches.

It's no secret that the city authorities of Zaporozhye have recently pursued a purposeful policy to survive the "Metallurg" from the sports arenas of the city. There was a paradoxical situation, in which there are two stadiums in the city, but there was no place for the only club that participates in the championship of Ukraine, "the message says..

Note that last season the Zaporozhye team established several antirecords at once, conceding in Group B of the Second League 133 goals. Add that the club was in the list of teams that are suspected of contract matches.
