Match15 Aug 2026

Feniks tear Nyva apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 4‑1 against Nyva, and it could have been more.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A day Serhii Kyslenko will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Valerii Kucherov goes up and wins it — 7.78

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.78 for the rest of it.

Liubomyr Kuzyk gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Liubomyr Kuzyk has just signed for Feniks, and for once the answer mattered.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

One of those days for Serhii Kyslenko

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.23, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Feniks rebuffed over Illia Karavashchenko

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Zorya have kept their man, and Feniks go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Feniks

Oleksandr Chornomorets 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

7 new faces, and Feniks are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Market17 Aug 2026

Feniks buy the years ahead of Liubomyr Kuzyk

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A one-man rearguard from Vitalii Zhupanskyi

There were 8 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Yehor Hunichev takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Market10 Aug 2026

Feniks say no — this time

The offer from Probiy for Yehor Hunichev was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

A masterclass from Yehor Hunichev

Marked 9.65 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Match8 Aug 2026

Yehor Hunichev sends Feniks past Livyi Bereh

It finished 3‑2, and it was Yehor Hunichev’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Feniks.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Door shut on Daniil Volskyi

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

Squad10 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Feniks

Oleksandr Chornomorets and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Ivan Kovalenko joins the Feniks first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Ivan Kovalenko is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

Denys Shakhov steps up from the Feniks academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Denys Shakhov has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Match1 Aug 2026

A 2-goal lead gone for Feniks

It is a specific kind of quiet, a ground watching a winning position dissolve. Chornomorets kept coming because nothing stopped them, and Feniks will be asked about the last half hour all week.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

A brace, and Serhii Kyslenko takes the afternoon — 8.57

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Serhii Kyslenko provided it, and the 8.57 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Valerii Kucherov signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Valerii Kucherov and Feniks agree another 3 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Feniks

Andrii Kukharuk 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Oleksandr Chornomorets falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Match1 Aug 2026

Feniks and Chornomorets take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

Market3 Aug 2026

Talks stall between Feniks and Oleksandr Chornomorets

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Oleksandr Matvienko was not hiding it after 2‑2, and nobody in the Feniks dressing room was either.

Market3 Aug 2026

Sviatoslav-Mykhailo Oryshchak is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Feniks has been clear about where Sviatoslav-Mykhailo Oryshchak stands, which is more than many ever get.
