A club was excluded from Europe after withdrawing from the championship

Although the season has only just begun, an unprecedented situation has been encountered in European football. The Ukrainian team Dnipro-1 withdrew from the championship and risk exclusion from the Conference League.

On July 19, the Professional League of Ukraine officially announced the exclusion of Dnipro-1 from the first league. The Ukrainian club appealed to this, since bankruptcy of the company is imminent. Now they are trying to find a replacement for those from Dnipro-1, and FC Minaj seems to have the best chance to replace the excluded team.

Having finished last season in 5th place in the first league of Ukraine, Dnipro-1 had the right to participate directly in the second round of the Conference League preliminaries, where they should have met the Hungarian team Akademia Puskas.

Most likely, the Ukrainians will also be excluded from European cups. The club is in a very delicate moment. A few days before the first leg, they only have two players left in the squad. Thus, Akademia Puskas would go to the “green table” in the next round, according to the X page, Football Rankings.

• The club’s best finish was in the 2022–2023 season, when the team finished 2nd in the Ukrainian First League.

The club did not provide a response

Although the situation of Dnipro-1 is fragile, the club has not issued an official statement clarifying the future of the sports entity. However, Serghei Panasenko, the former player of the formation spoke about the decay of the team.

“It’s an unclear situation, everything was fine. Great players, great team and at one point the club no longer existed. Although at the end of the last championship, the boys were promised that everything would be paid and they would be able to play in European cups. The financier disappeared with his money. Now there is no club, no players,” Panasenko said, according to the report sport.ua.
