The 2014 Ukrainian Cup Final is a football match that was played on 15 May 2014 in Poltava.[1] The match is the 23rd Ukrainian Cup Final and was contested by Cup holders Shakhtar Donetsk and Dynamo Kyiv.
Leadup crisis before the match
The final was originally to be played at Metalist Stadium, Kharkiv,[2] but was moved to Butovsky Vorskla Stadium in Poltava. [1] Due to the May 2014 pro-Russian conflict in Ukraine, the Football Federation of Ukraine (FFU), after being advised to do so by the Ukrainian Interior Ministry,[3] decided that the match would be played behind closed doors for security reasons.[4]
The decision to have no spectators at the match was met with criticism and protest by both clubs fans including picketing of the House of Football in Kiev a day before the match[5] and was reverted after the FFU held an emergency meeting and conferred with club officials and government security.[6]
