General Director of Zari Sergey Rafailov spoke about the choice of the stadium for performances in the UFC and the European League.

Rafailov confirmed that Zarya will continue to play the championship matches in Zaporizhzhya, while the matches of the European Cups are not yet clear.

"According to the games of the next season in the Ukrainian championship I will say that they will pass, as before, in Zaporozhye," Rafailov said..

"For Eurocups I'll say this: UEFA approved stadiums for the group stage. This is the NSC Olympic, Arena Lviv, Chernomorets and Metalist. Odessa for us disappears at once. As for the Olympic, last year we were denied and this year nothing has changed. We are now discussing issues with FFU, Premier League, Club President, where we will play ".

"As for Zaporozhye, we do not have any contradictions with the city authorities. There is a close cooperation. But we need to understand that, in addition to city leaders, there is a deputy corps, which has the final say in the session. When we submitted to the UEFA list of stadiums on which we can play, there was made Slavutych Arena.

But, when the inspection comes here and sees that the issues that had to be solved last year have not been resolved within a year, then, knowing the mentality of UEFA, they will have the question: how will you do in a month what you did not do in a year ? Their reaction is difficult to predict. We want to play in Zaporozhye. But in parallel we are considering the issue of holding matches of the League of Europe and in other cities, "- admitted the general director of Zarya.

Recall that Zarya extended the contract with Zeljko Lubenovic.
