FC Obolon Kyiv, Ukrainian Premier League club, to be expelled from Ukrainian First League

The club has been accused of match-fixing and other violations

FC Obolon Kyiv, a Ukrainian Premier League club, is set to be expelled from the Ukrainian First League due to match-fixing and other violations.

The club has been under investigation by the Ukrainian Football Federation (UAF) since last year, and the UAF has now recommended that Obolon Kyiv be expelled from the league.

The UAF has accused Obolon Kyiv of match-fixing, as well as other violations of the league's rules and regulations.

Obolon Kyiv has denied the allegations

Obolon Kyiv has denied the allegations, and the club has appealed the UAF's decision to expel it from the league.

The club has also filed a lawsuit against the UAF, alleging that the federation has violated its rights.

The UAF has not yet ruled on Obolon Kyiv's appeal, and the club's fate is still uncertain.

If expelled, Obolon Kyiv would be the first club to be expelled from the Ukrainian Premier League since 2008

If Obolon Kyiv is expelled from the league, it would be the first club to be expelled from the Ukrainian Premier League since 2008.

The last club to be expelled from the league was FC Metalurh Donetsk, which was expelled in 2008 due to financial problems.

Obolon Kyiv is one of the oldest clubs in Ukraine, having been founded in 1936.

The club has won the Ukrainian Cup twice, in 1999 and 2001.

Obolon Kyiv has also played in the UEFA Europa League, the second-tier European club competition.

The expulsion of Obolon Kyiv would be a major blow to the Ukrainian Premier League

The expulsion of Obolon Kyiv would be a major blow to the Ukrainian Premier League.

The league is already struggling to attract fans and generate revenue, and the loss of one of its most historic clubs would only make matters worse.

The UAF is expected to make a final decision on Obolon Kyiv's appeal in the coming weeks.
