VAR will only be used in one match
Teams of referees for matches have been determined 1/4 finals of the Ukrainian Cup.
Let us remind you that the four quarterfinals will be held over three game days – from October 30 to November 2. The VAR system will work only in Zhytomyr for the match between Polesie and Alexandria.

The winners of the quarterfinals will play in the 1/2 finals – this round of the tournament is scheduled for April 3. The Ukrainian Cup final is scheduled for May 15, 2024.
The last winner of the Ukrainian Cup is Dynamo, which narrowly beat Zorya in the 2021 final. In the 2021/22 season, the tournament was ended early at the 1/4 final stage due to the full-scale invasion of Russian troops in Ukraine.
In the 2022/23 season, the Ukrainian Cup was not played due to the busy schedule of the Ukrainian championship, matches of the national team and the participation of Ukrainian clubs in European cups.
