Official statement of FC "Kryvbas"

We consider it necessary to respond to the publications of certain media outlets regarding the refereeing appointment for the central match of the 10th round of the UPL Dynamo - Kryvbas.

The Kryvbas Football Club fully trusts the Referees Committee and the Ukrainian Football Association under the leadership of Andrii Mykolaiovych Shevchenko. Our Club has no doubts about the professionalism and impartiality of the refereeing team headed by the experienced FIFA referee Mykola Balakin.

We consider the formulations that appeared in certain media outlets to be unethical, provocative and such that they cause pressure on referees.

We call on all participants in the football process to stop manipulation, maintain respect for the game, its participants and governing bodies.

“FC Kryvbas has always prioritized the sporting principle and fair competition in the DNA of our club and will adhere to this position, regardless of any factors. "Champions become on the football field and on equal terms," ​​said Volodymyr Baienko, General Director of FC Kryvbas.
