Basketball competitions will begin at the end of October and will be held in several stages.
The Basketball Federation of Ukraine has said what the Ukrainian championship will look like next season. According to the general secretary of the organization – Vladimir Drabikovsky, the competition will begin at the end of October this year. The contest is planned to be held in several stages.
“We are sure that it is necessary to hold the championship of Ukraine. If the situation in the country does not change in the next few months, then we are planning such a format – we will apply the principle according to which at the beginning of the competition we will divide the championship of Ukraine into several regions with halls where it is relatively safe to play.
Thus, we must hold the first national stage of the Ukrainian championship, which will include all interested teams that can fulfill the initial organizational requirements. I think they were close to the requirements of the First League last year.
After the first stage from each of the regions, the best teams will advance to the first division of the Ukrainian championship, the teams from the middle of the table will play each other in the second division, and the weakest teams will play against each other. Unless, of course, we have teams in three divisions. Then they will play in their championships and reveal the champions. Teams will play rounds. Such a system is in the men’s, women’s and in the VYBL championships.
In classic basketball, the tours will be played once every few weeks, so we are reducing the number of matches in the championships, but the players will also have the opportunity to play the full 3×3 Ukrainian championship. We will also be doing these competitions throughout the fall-spring season.
The start of the Ukrainian championship is scheduled for the end of October – beginning of November. Competition regulations and requirements for participants will develop in the near future and in mid -July in the FBU Executive Committee we must approve these documents.
As for the foreigners, I think we will let them play, but we understand that in our current situation, they are unlikely to be many. But we, like all Ukrainians, hope that the situation will change for the better, ”Drabikovsky said.
