history

Russian Empire and Soviet Union

As early as 1911, a sports association was founded in the metallurgical plant of the New Russian Society . On this basis, the football club was established in April 1936 under the name Stakhanovets Donetsk (named after the Stakhanov movement ), the first game of which was played on May 24, 1936. The club subsequently took part in all-Soviet competitions. As early as 1938, the club played for the first time in the highest Soviet league . The club's players included the most talented miners from the Donetsk region, who were given leave from work to play football matches. The 1941 season, which had begun successfully for Donetsk, was abruptly broken off by the war and the German occupation, during which around 60,000 people were killed in Donetsk by 1944.

After the war, the reconstruction of the city began, and gaming operations resumed in 1945. A year later the club was renamed Shakhtar Donetsk. The team played almost continuously in the top Soviet league until 1991 . In 1971 Shakhtar Donetsk was relegated to the Pervaya League for the first and only time , but already in the 1975 season the team was Soviet runners-up. Through this success, the team from Donetsk made their debut in the 1976/77 season in the UEFA Cup and reached the third round, where, however, the eventual winner Juventus Turin could prevail. Even if the championship title could not be won once in the Soviet times, the team, known mainly as the Shakhtar at the time, won the Soviet Cup in 1960, 1961, 1980 and 1983 and the Soviet Supercup in 1984.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union and the associated independence of Ukraine, Shakhtar began to play in the new Ukrainian league . At first, the league was dominated by the long-term rival Dynamo Kiev from the capital, but since the takeover of Shakhtar on October 11, 1996 by the Donetsk-born billionaire Rinat Akhmetov , the club has been consistently built up with generous donations of money. Since then, Shakhtar Donetsk has become a serious competitor to the team from the Ukrainian capital, has been Ukrainian champion eight times and is also increasingly successful in international competitions. In the 2003/2004 season, the former Bundesliga player Bernd Schuster was the team's head coach and was dismissed on May 5, 2004. His successor was the former coach of Beşiktaş Istanbul and Galatasaray Istanbul , the Romanian specialist Mircea Lucescu .

At the beginning of the 2007/2008 season, the club had further strengthened. For example, striker Cristiano Lucarelli , Mexican Nery Castillo from Olympiacos and Brazilian youngster Ilsinho were signed from Italy . The Ukrainian club also had some important departures. So Ciprian Marica moved to the German champions 2007 VfB Stuttgart . Matuzalém , the playmaker and goalscorer, moved to Spain for Real Zaragoza . The Brazilian international and 2007 Copa America winner Elano also left the club. He moved to the English Premier League for Manchester City .

On December 5, 2007, Schachtar introduced a new logo, which replaced the one that had been in use since 1997.

From 2010 to 2014, the Donetsk team won five national championships in a row. By winning the 2011 championship, the club qualified for the group stage of the 2011/12 UEFA Champions League . The opponents in Group G were FC Porto , Zenit Saint Petersburg and APOEL Nicosia . As the bottom of the group, the team was eliminated from the competition. Schachtar also qualified directly for the group stage of the 2012/13 UEFA Champions League . However, the team failed in the second round to Borussia Dortmund .

In 2013 Shakhtar celebrated the ninth national cup victory and the third in a row when Chornomorets Odessa was beaten 3-0 in the final, so the club won the national double for the third time in a row since 2011 .

For the second half of the 2016/17 season, the club decided to play the home games in the Metalist Stadium in Kharkiv , eastern Ukraine, as the fans are more popular in this region. In Lviv , often only a few spectators came to the stadium.
