Rivne Veres offered Kharkiv Metalist 1925 to play the previously interrupted match of the Ukrainian Premier League on its field of the Avangard Stadium. This was announced by the president of Veres, Ivan Nadeyin.

We will remind you that the match of the 15th round of the UPL was not played from the 19th minute due to lighting problems at the stadium in Zhytomyr, after which various scenarios of the continuation of this story circulated in the press.

“In the situation with the match between Metalist 1925 and Veres, the law did not work, the law still has not told us anything, at least who is right in this situation.

Not acknowledging the problem is actually a pretty weak position. It is stronger to admit the problem, to say: “They did not take care, the generator did not turn on”… I have my own information that the internal network was simply overloaded.

In fact, all these points about admitting one’s guilt is also a strong enough move. They would admit guilt and it could change the situation. Would we meet in that case? We are ready to meet even now. This will sound for the first time, but today we are ready to offer Metalist 1925 to play in Rivne. Of course, if this issue is supported by the supervisory board of our club. First, we will be able to present a football holiday to our fans in this way. This match will definitely be top. It could be called a match of light and unity,” said Nadeyin.

At the same time, Metalist 1925 supported the initiative of the Rivne club and expressed its readiness to play the match at Avangard.
