Clubs removed

  • Arsenal–Kyiv withdrew from professional competitions after being relegated from the Premier League.[81]
  • PFC Sumy received new ownership during winter break in the face of Serhiy Vashchenko who earlier this season was supposed to become the owner of Kobra Kharkiv.[82][83][84][85] The new head coach of the Sumy club who had been announced was also former head coach of Kobra, Oleksandr Oliynyk.[citation needed] At the same time according to the former club's director Anatoliy Boiko, on 1 December 2018 PFC Sumy did not have any players on contract. On 11 April 2019, the FFU Control and Disciplinary Committee adopted its decision to strip the club of professional status and exclude the club from any competitions that it is participating currently or in the future.[86] However the club has a right to file an appeal. Additional separate sanctions were to be also applied against the club's playing and administrative personnel. On 14 April 2019, the chairman of the FFU committee of ethics and fair play Francesco Baranka noted in regards to additional sanctions that PFC Sumy has earned some 10 million euros in match fixing.[87] More to it, Ukrainian coach Oleksandr Sevidov who held post of head coach consultant in PFC Sumy and previously managed FC Illichivets Mariupol received a lifetime disqualification.[88]
  • On 17 February 2019, president of FC Zirka Kropyvnytskyi commented on his club's withdrawal from further participation in competitions of the Ukrainian First League.[89][90] The president accused the newly formed NABU and law enforcement authorities in pressure against him. The president of the league expressed his surprise claiming that there seemed no real reason why the club had to withdraw.[91] On 5 April 2019, the PFL council of leagues adopted its decision to remove FC Zirka Kropyvnytskyi from the League as it officially withdrew on 14 March 2019.[92] On 22 April 2019, the club's vice-president announced that the club will restart from regional competitions with intention to return the club's pro-status in the future.[93]
  • Helios Kharkiv, the club reorganized under new management under a new name as FC Kobra Kharkiv.[94][95][96] The club merged with another amateur club called the Kobra Football Academy which was playing in the Kharkiv Oblast Football Championship.[96] On 15 August 2018 the club informed the Professional Football League of Ukraine about withdrawal from professional competitions,[97] and were later officially expelled from the league.[citation needed]
