Official statement of FC "Kryvbas"
24 March 2026
Football club "Kryvbas" supports the initiative of the president of FC "Polissya" Hennadii Butkevych to update the refereeing system in Ukrainian football.
We are convinced that this system requires decisive changes and comprehensive reform.
The development of professional football is impossible without honest refereeing and a transparent system. These are interrelated things. The level of refereeing should grow simultaneously with the level of the Ukrainian championship and contribute to the development of football, and not slow down other processes.
Football club "Kryvbas" is ready for a constructive dialogue and active participation in the process of reforming the Ukrainian refereeing.
