Construction and exploitation of stadiums and other football infrastructure in Ukraine as well as providing safety in conducting competitions is being supervised by the respected UAF (previously FFU) standing committee. The Ukrainian Association of Football itself adopts regulations on infrastructure of stadiums and measures of safety.
Previously all stadiums in Ukraine were awarded certain category: 1, 2, 3, and elite. All professional clubs are obligated to conduct their "home games" in place of their permanent location and state registration and on stadiums that correspond to the FFU regulations. A football game is held only on a stadium that was applied by the club during its attestation for respectful competition season. Such stadiums are listed in a stadium registry on which permitted to conduct matches of respected level. Each stadium has a certificate of state commission and passport.
