The Cup of Ukrainian PFL was a team football competition by the Olympic (knockout)-system of elimination. The first and second editions of the competition were introduced in 2009 and were in some ways similar in nature to the competition of the neighbor-country, the Russian Federation.
The president of the PFL, Sviatoslav Syrota, stated[1] that the tournament was meant to become a traditional competition with a possibility of increasing the frequency of its occurrence as well as increasing the list of its participants. The club competition was officially presented and confirmed by the declarations of the Central Council of PFL #18 of July 17, 2009 and the Executive Committee of FFU #19 of July 24, 2009. All the administrative and organizational issues of the competition organization were secured by the PFL of Ukraine. The conditions of that competition was regulated by the statute, a copy of which can be found on the official web-site of PFL.
