KDK WAF was fined the “Verses” for violation of the rules, which obliges to give flash interview in the state language.
A fine of the UAF Control and Disciplinary Committee told the official website of the Rivne Veres.
Violation occurred after the 15th round of the PLA between “Veres” and Kiev “Dynamo”.
Veres reported that from now on and then the club’s representatives will be interviewed and comments for the media only in Ukrainian. For football players or other club workers who own the public language at the insufficient level in their opinion – the club is ready to organize courses on the study of Ukrainian.
This decision does not concern the representatives of the club who are citizens of other states.
“If the football player has a Ukrainian passport – public interviews, comments to the official broadcaster, media representatives – he must give in Ukrainian. I also understand that there are football players who are poorly knowledgeable Ukrainian. Now there is a tendency that they are even a little shame , “says Ivan Navan President.
