Leadup crisis before the match
The final was originally to be played at Metalist Stadium, Kharkiv, but was moved to Vorskla Stadium in Poltava. Due to the May 2014 pro-Russian conflict in Ukraine, the Football Federation of Ukraine (FFU), after being advised to do so by the Ukrainian Interior Ministry, decided that the match would be played behind closed doors for security reasons.
The decision to have no spectators at the match was met with criticism and protest by both clubs' fans including picketing of the House of Football in Kyiv a day before the match and was reverted after the FFU held an emergency meeting and conferred with club officials and government security.
