The 2013–14 Ukrainian Premier League season was the 23rd since its establishment.

A total of sixteen teams participated in the league. Fifteen teams from last season's competition and one promoted club from the 2012–13 Ukrainian First League formed the league. The competition commenced on the 12 July 2013 when Tavriya Simferopol hosted Zorya Luhansk.[4] Eighteen rounds were played prior to the winter recess.[5] The competition was affected by the political turmoil that affected Ukraine during the spring session.

Russian invasion and its effects on the league[]

See also: Russian military intervention in Ukraine (2014–present)

In November 2013, during the winter break of the Ukrainian Premier League, a wave of demonstrations and civil unrest labelled Euromaidan started in Ukraine.[6] The competition was to resume on 1 March 2014,[5] but due to the Russian invasion continuing on with the Crimean crisis, the Premier League delayed the start of the spring stage.[7] A decision was made by the Ukrainian Premier League to resume the competition on 15 March.[1]

After the annexation of Crimea by Russia in March 2014 the teams from Crimea, namely Sevastopol and Tavriya Simferopol, continued to participate in the competition.[6][8]

During the May 2014 pro-Russian conflict in Ukraine the Football Federation of Ukraine (after being advised to do so by the Ukrainian Interior Ministry[9]) decided that all matches across all Ukrainian leagues, as well as the 2014 Ukrainian Cup Final, would be played behind closed doors for security reasons.[10]

The unrest in Ukraine since November 2013 led to an unexpected sense of unity among rival Ukrainian football fans.[9] Various formerly bitter rival football fans (also those from Russophone cities in Ukraine) held pro-Ukrainian Unity marches.[9][11]

Teams[]

[]

  • FC Sevastopol,[12] champion of the 2012-13 Ukrainian First League (returning after absence of 2 seasons)

Stal Alchevsk were to be promoted after finishing runners-up but their club administration refused promotion.[13]

Hoverla Uzhhorod, the 15th placed team was allowed to stay in the Premier League after they passed attestation.[14]

Metalurh Zaporizhya, the last-placed of the 2012–13 Ukrainian Premier League was to be relegated to the Ukrainian First League at the end of the previous season[15] but since no other team applied for entry from the Ukrainian First League they remained in the competition.[14]

  2. ^ FC Dynamo Kyiv qualified for the Group Stage of the 2014-15 Europa League as the 2013-14 Ukrainian Cup winner.
  3. ^ On 4 April 2014, UEFA barred FC Metalurh Donetsk in the next UEFA club competition for which they would otherwise qualify in the next three seasons for failing to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations.[54] Metalurh lodged an appeal against the UEFA resolution.[59]
  4. ^ a b After the annexation of Crimea by Russia, FC Sevastopol and SC Tavriya Simferopol were officially disbanded and in their place were created new clubs that aimed to participate in the Russian competitions next season.[60][61]
  5. ^ On 20 May 2014, FC Volyn Lutsk were deducted three points by the FFU for breach of financial rules.[62]
