Dynamo Kiev will hold a match against the Yablonnets on the NSC "Olympic" on 13 December. And the day before, December 12, Shakhtar Donetsk will host the Olympique de Lyon in the capital.
Following this request, Deputy Secretary General of UEFA Giorgio Marquette appealed to Igor Surkis, president of Dynamo. We translate the letter below.
UEFA
For the attention of Mr. Igor Surkis,
President
FC Dynamo Kyiv,
st. Hrushevsky, 3
Kyiv, Ukraine
01001
4 December 2018
Sir, Surkis,
The present situation in which the military status of the country was introduced does not permit UEFA to authorize a match of the UEFA Champions League between Shakhtar Donetsk and Olympique Lyon, as scheduled, in Kharkiv on 12 December. This exceptional situation, combined with the need to prepare the stadium in accordance with our current requirements and the short time remaining before the match, forces UEFA to consider the Kiev Olympic Stadium as the only solution available.
Given that Dynamo should hold its League of Europe match against Yablonets on December 13th, we ask for your understanding and your authorization for the aforementioned match, in exceptional circumstances, to take place in the same stadium. day earlier.
At the same time, we would very much like to ask for an alternative and an appropriate solution. place for the training team "Yab n" because the usual place to do training the day before the match can not be used.
We would like to emphasize again that this situation is exceptional and will not happen again in the future.
Thank you very much for your understanding and
Giorgio Marchetti
Deputy Secretary General
