The club failed to get a certificate for participation in the Second League.

The certification committee of the FFU rejected the appeal of the Zaporizhzhya Metallurgist for failure to issue a certificate, making it impossible for the club to continue participating in professional competitions. This is the official website of the club.

"It's difficult to understand such double standards of our officials from football, one thing is clear that while some such enigmatic" expediency "will operate during the adoption of such decisions, clubs in Ukraine will continue to disappear," the Zaporizhzhya club's statement says..

"Unfortunately, in connection with the above, we inform the football community that the Zaporozhye Metallurgist ceases to exist. This decision was made by the club's management "thanks to" the decisions of FFU officials and "diligence" of Zaporozhye city authorities, despite the fact that there were sources of funding for the next season, and there were people ready to allocate funds for the continuation of the project. Our club regularly paid salaries and contributions to the budget (about 300 thousand hryvnia per year). All the time of its existence we tried, albeit not always successfully, to represent Zaporozhye football in the all-Ukrainian arena, however, the reality is that from now on 30 people are unemployed and the budget is not counted as receipts ".

Earlier it was reported that the municipal state metallurgical complex Metallurg was headed by Oleg Taran.
