Ukraine's Shakhtar Donetsk To Play Champions League Home Games In Germany

Shakhtar Donetsk played their Champions League home games in Poland last season.

Ukraine's Shakhtar Donetsk soccer club will play its Champions League home games in Germany this season at the Volksparkstadion in Hamburg. Unable to host European games in Ukraine because of the Russian invasion, Shakhtar's home games were held in the Polish capital, Warsaw, last season. The Ukrainian soccer champion said on August 18 that UEFA has agreed that the team can play in Hamburg, where it's likely to attract the support of Ukrainians who have been displaced during the war and are living in Germany and other countries.
