Shakhtar Donetsk is a Ukrainian professional football club based in the city of Donetsk. The club was founded in 1936 and has since won the Ukrainian Premier League 13 times, the Ukrainian Cup 13 times, and the Ukrainian Super Cup 8 times. Shakhtar is also the only Ukrainian club to have won a major European competition, the UEFA Cup in 2009.
History
Shakhtar Donetsk was founded in 1936 by the Stalino Coal Mine Administration. The club's name is derived from the word "shakhtar", which means "miner" in Ukrainian. Shakhtar quickly became one of the most successful clubs in Ukraine, winning their first Ukrainian Premier League title in 1994.
In 2009, Shakhtar won the UEFA Cup, defeating Werder Bremen in the final. This was the first major European trophy won by a Ukrainian club. Shakhtar has also been a regular participant in the UEFA Champions League, reaching the quarter-finals in 2011 and 2012.
Current Situation
Due to the ongoing war in Ukraine, Shakhtar Donetsk has been forced to relocate from their home stadium, the Donbas Arena, in Donetsk. The club is currently playing its home matches at the NSC Olimpiyskyi in Kyiv.
Despite the challenges, Shakhtar Donetsk remains one of the most successful clubs in Ukraine. The club is currently in first place in the Ukrainian Premier League and is looking to win its 14th title this season.
