Preparations and other background events

On 13 July 2017 Volodymyr Heninson pointed out to the fact that since 1998 UEFA Super Cup takes place in Monaco^{[lower-alpha 1]} which is also a port city and, thus, the "Ukrainian Premier League moves in the stream of the European traditions".^[3] As an additional argument why Odessa was chosen as the Ukrainian Super Cup place, the President of UPL stated that football was brought to the Russian Empire through Odessa by the British sailors.^[4]
