Shakhtar Donetsk have confirmed that Stamford Bridge will host their Champions League home matches this season, with the Ukrainian club set to use Chelsea’s iconic stadium for their European campaign.
The arrangement gives Shakhtar a prestigious London venue for their home fixtures as they continue to compete in Europe amid the ongoing challenges of playing matches in Ukraine.
The club welcomed the opportunity, describing Stamford Bridge as a special venue and thanking Chelsea Football Club for allowing them to host their Champions League matches there.
It will be an unusual sight for European football fans as Shakhtar take to the same pitch normally occupied by Chelsea for their Champions League home games this season.
