The Bukovyna Post
Market14 Sep 2026
Shakhtar come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Bukovyna did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Luca Meirelles, 19, plays like he has been here for years — 7.84
A mark of 7.84 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.

Yan Morhovskyi asks to leave Bukovyna
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
Boardroom14 Sep 2026
Bukovyna close the window on a squad of their own making
19 in and 6 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Vitalii Dakhnovskyi beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Bukovyna rebuffed over Ivan Bendera
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Epicentr have kept their man, and Bukovyna go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

The crowd has taken to Luca Meirelles
At 19 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.
Match12 Sep 2026
Bukovyna are at home on the road
3 straight away victories. Sides that win away are usually sides that can defend and can counter, and the table has begun to reflect what those journeys have earned.
