The UAF Arbitration Committee is finalizing the implementation of an open dialogue program with UPL clubs as part of the preparation for the 2026/2027 season.

Meetings were held with representatives of "Veres" (Rivne), "Kudrivka", "Obolon" (Kyiv), "Zorya" (Luhansk), "Kharkiv", "Shakhtar" (Donetsk), and "Epicenter" (Kamianets-Podilskyi). Players, coaching staff, and instructors of the UAF Arbitration Committee Andriy Shandor and Yuriy Moseychuk took part in the events.

During the presentations, the instructors explained in detail the changes to the Rules of the game for the 2026/2027 season, using video examples and analysis of real game episodes. Special attention was paid to innovations that will directly affect the pace of the game, the discipline of match participants, and the interaction of teams with referees.

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

Conducting such events is an important component of organizing competitions and contributes to a unified interpretation of the Rules of the game, reducing the number of conflict situations during matches, and increasing the level of mutual trust among all participants in the football process.
