Prometheus does not plan to participate in the championship of Ukraine 2022/23
Head of Prometheus Vladimir Dubinsky reported that the club refused to participate in the Ukrainian championship next season. According to Dubinsky, the FBU board made a discriminatory decision about Prometheus, contributing 100 (!) times more to the club than other clubs.
“Today I have to give you the sad news about our club’s participation in the Ukrainian Basketball Championship of the 2022/2023 season…
… Unfortunately, even at such a difficult time for our country and for all sports, there were those in the Ukrainian Basketball Federation who put their own ambitions or private interests before the general interests of the basketball community and the state as a whole.
On September 13, under the leadership of the President of the Ukrainian Basketball Federation, Mr. Mikhail Brodsky, who had been to Italy since the beginning of the war, a meeting of the Executive Committee of the FBU was held using the Zoom conference, a discriminatory decision for our basketball club “Prometheus” was adopted almost unanimously. An application fee of UAH 400,000.00 has been set for all clubs participating in the Ukrainian Basketball Championship. and exclusively for the basketball club “Prometheus” this contribution amounts to UAH 4,500,000.00, which is 100 times more than the fees of other clubs.
We sincerely hope that the President of the FBU, Mikhail Brodsky, will join the Ukrainian people and return to Ukraine as soon as possible and understand how difficult it is now to organize the training process and find funds to support clubs, and also understand the situation of athletes and coaches. bombardment under the constant threat of missiles, they want to play and do not depend on the shameful and biased decisions of the FBU.
Today I have to state a sad fact – the flagship club of Ukrainian basketball, the current champion of Ukraine, the club whose matches and victories increased Ukraine’s rating to 16th place in the ranking of Basketball Champions last year. While the league was collecting record points for the country, FBU was actually kicked out of the Ukrainian championship with its actions and decisions today.
Basketball club “Prometheus” will not take part in the XXXII Ukrainian Basketball Championship among men’s teams in the 2022/2023 season, unless the Ukrainian Basketball Federation eliminates the manifestations of prejudice and discrimination against our club.
We remain in the country, we continue to work and do everything for our common victory, the Club continues to represent Ukraine in the international arena.
It is worth noting that the head of the FBU, Mikhail Brodsky, came to Vladimir Dubinsky’s page in a comment and promised to tell “the whole truth” soon.

Head coach of BC Zaporozhye Dmitry Shchiglinsky He summarized the results of the team’s last matches in 2025 against Krivbass (68:84) and Niko-Basket (78:67).
“Going into the last calendar bubble this year we clearly understood how important this was for us in terms of tournament position. “Krivbass” were right behind us in the table and “Niko-Basket” were playing at home, so both matches promised to be extremely difficult. We were also without our captain Anton Buts, who was injured, which significantly affected the preparations.
We had a bad start to our match against Krivbass, the opponent scored their first long range shots, became confident and kept control of the match for most of the game. We managed to reduce the difference to 4 points in the fourth quarter, but unfortunately we did not have the strength to do more. Krivbass’ last attack with 11:0 gave them an important victory. In the absence of Anton Buts, they had to use rotation and it was not easy for Vyacheslav Kiktev to counter the opponent’s big players.
Our expectations were also the highest for our second match against Niko-Basket. We recently met with this team at the Ukrainian Cup and made a comprehensive analysis. I would like to thank my assistant for her quality work. We analyzed the mistakes in the previous match in detail and focused on playing defense. Even though we made many interventions at the beginning of the match, we could not immediately gain the scoring advantage. The team added more after the first quarter. There were quick breaks, easy points and a more organized attack, and these ultimately brought results. We got the win we needed.
Overall, I am happy with the results of this dough. We maintained our place among the top four teams in the Super League, so I evaluate the performance positively. Playing without one of the starting five players is a serious challenge for our team. I thank the men for their character; “After the defeat in the first match, no one gave up and the next day we played a high-quality game, first of all, as a single team.”
