Andriy Pavelko, the president of Ukraine’s football federation, revealed to The Associated Press the detail of the upcoming Ukranian football season.

“I spoke with our president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, about how important football is to distract. We spoke about how it would be possible that football could help us to think about the future.

So we took the decision with the president that we would resume the Ukrainian championship in August. In Ukraine we will play on every level. So the Premier League, and the first and second professional divisions, and women’s championship.

At all levels we will start in August. The decision was taken with the president of Ukraine,” Pavelko said.
