A team called 'Shakhtar', which has no relation to the real team from the temporarily occupied Ukrainian Donetsk, intends to register for the Russian championship.

According to several propagandistic Telegram channels, a club fantasized by the sick imagination of the occupiers has already started undergoing licensing. Representatives of the pseudo-'Shakhtar' visited the FNL office and received approval to participate in the next season. It is known that the club’s budget will be about 60 million rubles.
The fake 'Shakhtar' will not participate in the Russian Cup due to possible sanctions from FIFA and UEFA towards the RFU. It is also noted that the team plans to hold its home matches not in Donetsk, but in Crimea, which is also still under the control of Russian occupying forces.
The so-called physical culture and sports society called 'Shakhtar', which appropriated the name of the legendary Ukrainian club currently performing in the UPL and representing our state in the Euro arena, took first place in the championship of amateur teams from the occupied territories of Ukraine and 'earned the right to go to a new level'.
