UEFA Give Dnipro The Green Light To Return Home

Europa League runners-up Dnipro will be allowed to play their European club matches back in their hometown of Dnipropetrovsk after UEFA added it to their authorized list of venues.

However, the club will have to play their games at another venue again if the military situation around the city worsens at any time in the future.

Gryhoriy Surkis, the president of the Ukraine FA and a vice-president of European soccer's governing body, said on July 4 that UEFA would allow the venue to be used, as long as there was a Plan B in place.

Following the recent military upheavals in the eastern regions of Ukraine, UEFA only sanctioned the capital, Kyiv, and Lviv in the west of the country as safe enough to stage matches with Dnipropetrovsk, around 390 kilometers southeast of Kyiv, banned from staging games.
