Further meetings took place with representatives of FC "Kryvyi Rih" (Kryvyi Rih), FC "Kolos" (Kovalivka), FC "Karpaty" (Lviv) and FC "Bukovyna" (Chernivtsi). The events were attended by players, coaching staff of the teams, and instructors from the Referees Committee of the Ukrainian Football Association Vitaliy Romanov, Viktor Derdo, Andriy Shandor, and Yurii Mosiychuk.

During presentations, instructors detailed changes to the Rules of the Game for the 2026/2027 season using video examples and analysis of actual game episodes. Special attention was given to new additions that will directly impact the pace of play, discipline among match participants, and interaction between teams and referees.

The meetings took place in an open professional dialogue format. Players and coaches received answers to current questions regarding practical application of the updated Rules of the Game, as well as had the opportunity to discuss specific game situations that most often provoke discussions during matches.

Before the start of the championship, the Referees Committee of the Ukrainian Football Association will complete a cycle of similar meetings with all clubs in the Ukrainian Premier League. Holding such events is an important component of preparation for the new season and contributes to uniform interpretation of Rules of the Game, reducing the number of conflict situations during matches and enhancing mutual trust among all participants in the football process.

Katerina Monzul, Head of the Referees Committee of the Ukrainian Football Association:

"It is extremely important for us that all participants in the football process have a uniform understanding of new additions to the Rules of the Game before the start of the new season. Such meetings are not only about explaining changes but also an opportunity to hear the position of clubs, answer their questions and build an open professional dialogue. Mutual understanding, respect, and trust form the basis for quality refereeing and fair sportsmanship."
