The Donetsk team is implementing a rehabilitation program for the wounded.
Shakhtar on its official website voted for the creation of a football team for people with disabilities.
The team members will be military personnel who learned early on during combat operations and, as a result, the amputation of ends.
At the first stage, the team will include 20 athletes and a coach who regularly train in Kiev. Recruitment of drivers and training of trainers will start soon.
Our future plans include the participation of the team in various tournaments, including international ones.
" According to various estimates of the epidemic in Ukraine, approximately 50 thousand military servicemen face amputation through wounds.. Shakhtar is the first UPL club to create a team for military personnel with amputations. Our mission is to create all minds so that people can integrate and turn, as far as possible, into an active life. At the hour of organizing a new team, we are focusing on the international practice of adaptive football,” said Shakhtar General Director Sergiy Palkin.
It was previously reported that Shakhtar's rookie would go through injury for a number of years.
