October 26-29 in Romania, Ivano-Frankivsk "Hurricane" will play matches of Group 4 of the main round of the UEFA Champions League for the season 2022/2023.
Due to the situation in the region and city of Kherson, unfortunately, «Prodexim» does not have the opportunity to participate in the Champions League with futsal. In this exceptional situation, for the benefit of the competition, UEFA decided on the basis of Article 62.01 of the tournament regulations to replace «Prodexim» with the Ukrainian Extra League vice-champion — «Hurricane».
We remind you that Ukraine's representative qualified for Group 4 of the main round, where it will play against Portuguese «Benfica», Hungarian «Haladas» and Romanian «United Galați». The mini-tournament will take place in the Romanian city of Galați on October 26-29.
Today, Ivano-Frankivsk players will start their main round campaign with a match against «United Galați» (kick-off at 8:00 PM Kyiv time).
