Ukrainian Association of Football excludes Karpaty from Ukrainian Premier League

The Control and Disciplinary Committee of the Ukrainian Association of Football (UAF) has excluded FC Karpaty Lviv from the Ukrainian Premier League.

The decision was made due to the club's absence at two Ukrainian Premier League matches against Mariupol, the UAF's press service reported.

The Lviv side was awarded two 3-0 forfeit defeats for absence without a good reason.

Forfeit defeats will also be levied against the club following the final rounds of the Ukrainian football championship.

Karpaty Lviv took last, 12th place, in the table before they were excluded from the Ukrainian Premier League.
