Vitaly Ponomarov spoke about the preparation of the team before the start of the UPL.

Head coach of the Lviv Rukh Vitaly Ponomariov commented on the upcoming start of the season in the Ukrainian Premier League.

" We will have a serious rival – Obolon. And now the championship has no easy opponents – this season will be even more important for our team, even before. All football players understand that they need to be as prepared as possible before each match. Our mission is to re-magine the skin.

Those who missed the first round did not contribute to the team’s preparation. The Olympic team turned to our warehouse and trained, getting ready for the Olympic Games. This is a good team, because they beat all their opponents and play especially well at home. Yak and Rukh, Obolon also wants to play from a position of strength, so this will be a successful, but difficult match for us.

Those youngsters who immediately train with the first team have a good prospect. We need to work hard and continue to develop..

These guys have good bones, so they could use Ruhu as a basis. It all depends on how young people show themselves during the training process. The coaching staff is actively watching over them and we all want the first team to have more players than our recruits,” Ponomar’s press service said to the club.

Guess what, Rukh will play their first match in the UPL for the 2024/25 season against Obolon. It will be on the 11th of September at 13:00 outside Kiev.
