In September, a split occurred in the FHU.

Zubko himself believes that the holding of the 2024/25 championship is in jeopardy. In his opinion, the lack of national championship will also affect the positions of Ukrainian national teams in international competitions.
Mazur reported that five clubs submitted application forms: Sokol, Kremenchug, Dnepr, Storm and Kyiv Capitals. Trizub’s participation is in doubt.
At the end of last month, the 2024 Ukrainian Cup was played. The winner of the trophy was ultimately the newly formed Odessa Storm, which defeated the capital’s Trizub (6:0) in the final.
