The football club "Volyn" is now officially considered a top-league team. The Lutsk club paid the required sum for the application to the top-league tournament and provided the PFL with all necessary financial guarantees. This was stated on July 13 during a press conference by the head of the "Volyn" team, Viktor Shalyhin.
Due to a change in plans for the next championship, the coaching staff of the Lutsk side is urgently changing its transfer policy. Soon several players who could strengthen the team's lineup in the next season will appear in Lutsk for a tryout.
From unofficial sources it became known that Papa Gueye and Marko Devych, who were planning to move to the Kharkiv club, have been recalled from "Metalist" to "Volyn" on an emergency basis. Negotiations regarding Vasyl Sachko's transfer to "Illichivets" have also been halted. It is also known that several more players with experience playing in the top league will be invited to Lutsk.
At the same time, "Volyn" head coach Vitaliy Kvartsyany will continue the gradual rejuvenation of the squad at the expense of the most talented pupils of the "Volyn" youth football school.
On July 23, "Volyn" will play in Donetsk against "Shakhtar," on July 30 will host Lviv's "Karpaty," on August 5 will face "Dynamo" in Kyiv, and on August 12 will test Odesa's "Chornomorets" at home.
