Inter became the Title sponsor of Ukrainian football Supercup

Inter TV-channel became the Title sponsor of Ukrainian football Supercup for the next three seasons. According to the contract with Premiere League the match will be officially called Inter Supercup of Ukraine during the next three years. Inter has also the rights for broadcasting these matches on the territory of Ukraine.

This season Inter Supercup of Ukraine will take place on July 11 at "Yubileyniy" stadium in Sumy. Dynamo (Kyiv) and Vorskla (Poltava) will fight for the Cup. The match will be aired at 20:40 by Inter.

The match for the Ukrainian Supercup traditionally opens a new football season, in which the champion of the previous season and the winner of Ukrainian Cup play.

It is the second season of Inter Supercup of Ukraine under the aegis of union of Ukrainian professional football clubs Premiere League and Inter TV-channel. The previous season took place on July 15, 2008 in Poltava. The winner was Shakhtar (Donetsk), and this year it is the first duel in which Shakhtar doesn't take part.

The match will be commented by football commentators, the hosts of the "Frankly about football" program on Megasport TV-channel Igor Tsiganyk and Roberto Morales.

Aleksandr Borysenko, the Inter sport producer, Megasport general producer:

- The last year Inter became the Title sponsor of Ukrainian football Supercup for the first time. The match took place in Poltava and was aired by Inter. That match between two best teams of the season - Dynamo and Shakhtar - was watched by almost one third of all Ukrainian spectators. The contract prolongation for three years means that both sides are satisfied with this partnership.

Igor Tsiganyk:

- Dynamo has a new coach. After the Russian Yuriy Syomin there came another Russian - Valeriy Gazzaev, who won UEFA Cup with CSKA in 2005. He is probably the best coach of all the post-soviet countries, who experienced victories with different teams. Match between Dynamo and Vorskla is the first official duel for Gazzaev as a coach of the Kyiv team. This fact draws a great attention to the game.

As to Vorskla, the team of Nikolai Pavlov quickly became the elite of Ukrainian football. Now the team demonstrates a very good, disciplined football.

Both coaches - Gazzaev and Pavlov - are from one legendary Moscow trainer school. So the opposition of these coaches and their teams is the main intrigue of the match.
