2011-2012 Ukrainian Premier League Season Review

Under the old Soviet regime, Ukrainian football was very significant including Dynamo Kiev winning the most USSR Supreme League Titles. With the infustructure brought in from hosting Euro 2012 it looks as if Ukraine again can be a force in European Soccer. Shakhtar Donestsk won its seventh Ukraine Premier League title in 2011-2012 scoring 80 goals in the process led by the play making skills of Brazilian Willian. Foreign influence like Willian certainly plays a role with the top clubs in Ukraine, although Andriy Yarmolenko (Dynamo) and Yevhen Konoplyanka (Dnipro) shows good young local players are also being developed.
