Squad21 Sep 2026

The knee: Ihor Perduta out for 147 days

147 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Zorya lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match19 Sep 2026

Zorya do the business in Europe

0‑0. Continental football is where a club finds out what it actually is, and Zorya came through the finding-out well against FK Senica.

Artem Slesar, 21, steals the show — 7.68

Marked 7.68 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Zorya

Jakov Bašić was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The terraces21 Sep 2026

One of their own: Erick Marcus

He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match19 Sep 2026

Erick Marcus sends Zorya past Poltava

It finished 1‑0, and it was Erick Marcus’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Zorya.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Ivan Nesterenko out for 16 days

The medical room confirms 16 days on the sidelines for Ivan Nesterenko, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

No place for Anton Hlushchenko on the big day

He found out with everybody else, an hour before kick-off, from a sheet of paper on a wall. Nobody at Zorya pretended it was anything other than a decision about him.

Squad21 Sep 2026

Zorya count the cost of losing Oleh Strotskyi

20 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Market24 Aug 2026

Dynamo Kyiv come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Zorya did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Fedir Zadorozhnyi, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 8.27

A mark of 8.27 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 19-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Too dear: Zorya walk away from Alaa Ghram

$3.4M was the most the club would pay and Shakhtar were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Juninho beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 26. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Door shut on Denys Kuzyk

Zorya asked and LNZ said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Pylyp Budkivskyi, 34, rolls back the years — 7.82

There is an age at which every good afternoon gets described as a throwback, which is unfair and also accurate. 7.82 at 34, and nobody on the pitch was better.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Zorya

Jakov Bašić was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match22 Aug 2026

Pylyp Budkivskyi sends Zorya past Kudrivka

It finished 3‑2, and it was Pylyp Budkivskyi’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Zorya.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Zorya training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jordan is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

In brief
