===Stadium naming controversy===
In June 2021, the Polish city of Tarnów decided to suspend its partnership with Ternopil as a reaction to the naming of a stadium in Ternopil in honour of [[Roman Shukhevych]], one of the leaders of the [[Ukrainian Insurgent Army]] responsible for the [[Massacres of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia]] between 1943–1945.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://web1.radiokrakow.pl/aktualnosci/tarnow/tarnow-zawiesza-wspolprace-z-tarnopolem |language = pl |title=Tarnów zawiesza współpracę z Tarnopolem | access-date = 14 September 2021}}</ref>

[[Joel Lion]], the [[List of ambassadors of Israel to Ukraine|Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine]], expressed Israel’s strong objection to the city's choice to name the stadium in honor of Roman Shukhevych.

The Eastern Europe Director of the [[Simon Wiesenthal Center]], Efraim Zuroff wrote,
''"It is fully understandable that Ternopil seeks to honor those who fought against Soviet Communism, but not those behind the mass murder of innocent fellow citizens."'' in a statement attempting to convince Ternopil to reconsider the ''"renaming of its stadium in honor of Nazi collaborator, Hauptmann of the SS Schutzmannschaft 201, Roman Shukhevych, an active participant in the mass murder of Jews and Poles in World War II."''<ref name=":01stad">{{Citation | title=FIFA urged to take action after stadium renamed for Nazi collaborator |website=The Jerusalem Post |date=17 March 2021 | url=https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/fifa-urged-to-take-action-after-stadium-renamed-for-nazi-collaborator-662274 | access-date=22 October 2023}}</ref>
