The new Poltava stadium will have 8,500 seats
Vorskla plans to demolish the house Alexey Butovsky stadium and build a new arena.
When concluding an agreement with the Poltava City Council, the demolition and reconstruction of the facility is planned after the end of the war. Vorskla’s plan is a new indoor stadium with a capacity of 8,500 seats. The project includes a parking lot, commercial premises and a business center.
In mid-July, the Vorskla management made a request to the city council asking to transfer the Butovsky stadium to the club’s balance sheet. The Poltava club’s arena was opened in 1951 and is now municipal property.
This off-season, Poltava has already managed to extend the contract with the team’s main goalkeeper Pavlo Isenko, extended the loan of defender Viktor Kornienko from Shakhtar, and also signed the best player of the Montenegrin championship of the 2023/24 season, forward Demir Shkriel and former Polesie player Denis Ndukwe.
Two more new recruits of the Poltava team were two former players of Odessa Chornomorets – defender Luka Guchek and forward Samson Iede.
Vorskla finished 9th in the last UPL draw. Serhiy Dolganskyy’s team will start the new UPL season with a match against Dnipro-1 in the second round. The match against Shakhtar in the first round has been postponed to a later date due to the call-up of players from both teams to the Ukrainian Olympic team.
