You're reading: Ukraine Cup match moved to Poltava from Kharkiv

Poltava’s Vorskla Stadium will host the May 15 Ukraine Cup football match between Shakhtar Donetsk and Dynamo Kyiv to take place at 8 p.m., according to today’s Football Federation of Ukraine executive committee decision. 

No
fans will be allowed to attend the fixture for security reasons. The committee
voted to change the venue from Kharkiv which has been the scene of recent clashes
between Kremlin-backed separatists and pro-Ukrainian activists. 

Shakhtar
and Dynamo each are tied with nine Ukraine Cup victories in the domestic
league. On May 11, Shakhtar clinched its fifth consecutive Premier League
championship with one week to spare before the 2013-2014 season ends.
