Newly promoted debutants Epicenter play at Tonkocheyev Stadium, which doesn't meet the Ukrainian Premier League requirements. The stadium holds a capacity of 8,000, which is 2,000 less than the minimum capacity requirement of 10,000. Furthermore, the stadium meets only UEFA Category Two requirements, whereas the UPL regulations state that the stadium must meet at least UEFA Category THREE.

The club Epicenter have announced plans to expand the stadium and ensure changes to make sure that the stadium does meet UPL requirements. However, the stadium renovations won't be done until end of August at the earliest. This will mean that Epicenter will have to play a few home games at a neutral ground until their stadium renovations are complete.

We will give the club time to get the approval of stadium expansions and find an alternative home ground for the start of the season and we will provide no further comment on the stadium until we get an update from the club.
