Press service of the TV channels Football 1 / Football 2 published a statement regarding the change in the time of the start of the match Mariupol - Dynamo.
Earlier it became known that the beginning of the match Mariupol - Dynamo was postponed from 14:00 to 17:00.
In the official statement of the ULP it was said that such a decision was made after the "petition of FC Mariupol and the translator's channel, and taking into account the letter of the Mariupol city council".
The Football Channel 1 states:.
"Technically, the channels were ready to show the match Mariupol - Dynamo at the scheduled time.
Mariupol City Council through the Ukrainian Premier League appealed to the management of the TV channels with a request to postpone the start of the broadcast of the match for 3 hours.
Previously, the Soccer 1 / Football 2 channels never broadcast the broadcast of matches, especially in such short terms. But they decided to go to the ULP meeting provided that the match between Steel and Olympic starts at 7:30 pm, so that the spectators could see both matches on the air. This condition was agreed with the clubs, Steel and Olympic, and the management of the ULL. Corresponding changes were made to the broadcasting network ".
