The city of Prešov and the owner of the HC Prešov club, Róbert Ľupták, have not yet signed leases, so the highest hockey competition in the city is in jeopardy. The club has been making full use of the winter stadium since August, despite the lack of signing contracts.

City officials received several promises from Robert Ľupták, but Mayor Andrea Turčanová said on Monday: “We cannot tolerate the illegal use of the premises of the ice rink, which is urban and, above all, public property.”

According to her, the city has been looking for ways to enter into a rental relationship with the owner of HC Prešov under mutually advantageous conditions since August 2021. However, Ľupták’s request to rent for one euro is unacceptable for the town hall. At this level, it would be in conflict with the Memorandum of Cooperation, which they signed when the extra-league club entered the city. “We must comply with applicable laws, which are binding for both the city and HC Prešov. The owner of the hockey club is on the move, “ said Turčanová.

The mayor added that Róbert Ľupták promised her a personal meeting on Tuesday, December 7, with the signing of the necessary documents. In the past, however, there have been several meetings between city officials and the owner of the hockey club, but these, despite promises, did not result in the signing of the necessary documents.

According to Turčanová, the necessary documents for signing have been sent to Ľupták nine times since 6 August 2021, and there have been several meetings, but so far without the agreement being sealed. “It always ended with the promise of ‘okay, I will send’, but it has not happened to this day. We all want to keep the hockey extra league in the city, so we postponed the deadlines and postponed them. However, this is not indefinite, and we realize that this is not private finances, but public ones. “ stated Turčanová.

The company Prešov Real, which is the official administrator of the Prešov stadium, has already asked the city for help. The so-called a pre-litigation call for the signing of regular contracts. If this does not happen, it will legally require the cleaning of the winter stadium building. The city of Prešov has so far only signed a Memorandum of Cooperation with the hockey club, which was signed on behalf of the club by Juraj Koval. He requires the owner of HC Prešov to pay a proper monthly rent, which is approximately three thousand euros.
