According to the official website of the Gornyaks, the city stadium named after Henrik Reiman in Polish Krakow was elected to hold the games. The relevant agreement was reached with the local team of Visla.

" The choice of Krakow was not accidental - for us it is a convenient location in terms of logistics, and most importantly, it is a city where they love football, so we hope for the sincere hospitality of local fans.

We also understand that a lot of Ukrainians live in Poland, in particular refugees, so we count on their powerful support and energy. We thank the leadership of FC Visla and the city of Krakow for going to meet us, and we are sure that our cooperation will become a positive experience for all parties. We are looking forward to matches of the European Cup season in Krakow, ”said Shakhtar General Director Sergei Palkin.
