Shakhtar is considering the option of holding nominally home matches of the 2026/27 Champions League in England or Germany. According to BBC Sport, in particular, the Pitmen are currently negotiating with Brentford about the possible use of the club's stadium in London in the next European Cup season. “Shakhtar are currently in negotiations with several stadiums in the UK and Germany to secure UEFA Champions League matches next season. We will not comment on this process until the decision is announced in the near future,” said a representative of Shakhtar.

Let us recall that last season the Donetsk club played its nominally home European Cup matches in Slovenian Ljubljana and Polish Krakow. Shakhtar became the champion of Ukraine last season and, thanks to its high club rating, received a direct ticket to the main stage of the Champions League. Earlier, Shakhtar announced the signing of a Brazilian legionnaire. Roma wants to return former Shakhtar footballer to Italy.
