According to an Associated Press report, three clubs in the Crimea region recently annexed by Russia will play in the Russian Premier League next season. Ukraine isn’t happy about it, and wants FIFA to get involved. Most notably, Ukranian club FC Sevastopol ceased to exist completely, deciding to change its name to SC Black Sea Fleet and apply for a Russian license. Sevastopol finished 9th in the Ukranian Premier League last season. In addition, Tavria Simferopol did the same, choosing to keep its name the same upon submission for a Russian license. The club was the first-ever winners of the Ukranian Premier League. Zhemchuzhina Yalta is the third club involved in the dispute.

Regardless of the league they end up in, they should keep the name change.
