In 2014, due to the [[War in Donbas (2014–2022)|War in Donbas]], the club was forced to move to [[Lviv]], and  had played matches in Lviv (2014–2016) and in [[Kharkiv]] (2017–2020) whilst having its office headquarters and training facilities in [[Kyiv]].<ref name="ShaktarKharkiv"/> In May 2020, Shakhtar started to play home matches at [[Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex|NSC Olimpiyskyi]] in Kyiv.<ref name="Olimpiyskiy">[https://www.ua-football.com/ua/ukrainian/high/1590586848-shahtar-provede-zalishok-sezonu-na-olimpiyskomu.html Shakhtar will spend the rest of the season at the Olimpiyskiy]</ref>

Shakhtar has appeared in several European competitions and is often a participant in the UEFA Champions League. The club became the first club in independent Ukraine to win the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]] in [[2008–09 UEFA Cup|2009]], the last year before the competition was revamped as the Europa League. FC Shakhtar Donetsk is one of two Ukrainian clubs, the other being [[FC Dynamo Kyiv|Dynamo Kyiv]], who have won a major UEFA competition.

The club formerly played its home matches in Donetsk at the newly built [[Donbass Arena|Donbas Arena]], however due to the [[Russo-Ukrainian War]] in 2014, the team were forced to relocate {{convert|1000|km}} to the west in [[Arena Lviv]] in the interim.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28440553 |title=Shakhtar Donetsk move training and games over Ukraine conflict |publisher=BBC Sport |date=23 July 2014 |access-date=28 August 2014}}</ref> Following the winter break of the [[2016–17 FC Shakhtar Donetsk season|2016–17 season]] the club then moved again to the [[Metalist Oblast Sports Complex|Metalist Stadium]] in [[Kharkiv]] ({{convert|250|km}} to the northwest of Donetsk) early in 2017.<ref name="ShaktarKharkiv">[https://web.archive.org/web/20190901201647/https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/dcunited/still-in-exile-shakhtar-donetsk-picks-new-home/2017/01/30/6e1f075c-e6f4-11e6-903d-9b11ed7d8d2a_story.html Still in exile, Shakhtar Donetsk picks new home], [[The Washington Post]] (30 January 2017)</ref> In May–July 2020 Shakhtar played home matches at [[Olimpiyskiy National Sports Complex|NSC Olimpiyskyi]] in Kyiv.<ref name="Olimpiyskiy"/>

The club draws its history from the very start of the Soviet football league competitions and is one of the oldest clubs in Ukraine. The club was a member of the Soviet [[Voluntary Sports Societies of the Soviet Union|Voluntary Sports Society]] of Shakhtyor, having connections with other Soviet teams from [[FC Shakhter Karagandy|Karaganda]] ([[Kazakhstan]]), [[FC Shakhtyor Soligorsk|Soligorsk]] ([[Belarus]]), among others. In the late Soviet period, Shakhtar was considered a tough mid-table club of the [[Soviet Top League]] and a cup competition specialist after winning the [[Soviet Cup]] two years in a row in 1961 and 1962.

The team has played under the following names: Stakhanovets (1936–46), Shakhtyor (Shakhtar) (1946–92), and FC Shakhtar (1992–present).

==History==

===Early years – first two decades===
{{see also|FC Shakhtar Horlivka|FC Metalurh Donetsk}}

[[File:1937. Staxanovets.jpg|thumb|The team in 1937.]]
The Shakhtar club  was originally formed on a decision of the [[All-Union Council on Physical Culture and Sports]] of 3 April 1936. It was initially named '''Stakhanovets''', meaning "the participant of [[Stakhanovite movement]]", which derived from [[Alexei Stakhanov|Aleksei Stakhanov]], a coal-miner in the [[Donbas]] and propaganda celebrity in 1935. The first team was based upon two other local teams, the participants of the All-Ukrainian [[Spartakiad]]s: ''[[FC Dynamo Horlivka|Dynamo Horlivka]]'' and ''Dynamo Stalino''. The first game was against [[FC Dynamo Odesa|Dynamo Odesa]] as part of the [[1936 Cup of the Ukrainian SSR]] (at that time known as Ukrainian spring challenge) and took place on 12 May 1936 at Balitsky Stadium in [[Horlivka]] (the first home stadium). The team that played as Stakhonovets Horlivka lost 3–2 after scoring the first goal by Mykhailo Pashchenko,{{efn|some sources suggest it was Kostiantyn Pashchenko instead of Mykhailo Pashchenko.<ref name=footballnews/>}} the second goal belonged to Boris Terentiev.<ref name=urainform>{{cite web |url=http://ura-inform.com/ru/sport/2006/05/24/shahter70 |trans-title=Today Shakhtar is 70!!! Congratulations! |title=Cегодня "Шахтеру" – 70!!!

Its first league game in [[1936 Soviet Second League|Group V]] took place on 24 May 1936 against ''Dynamo Kazan'' was even more disappointing, which miners lost 4–1. Stakhonovets that had on its roster 15 players left for [[Kazan]] by train on 20 May.<ref name=urainform/> Beside players, as part of delegation there were representative of regional council of physical culture Gololobov and republican referee I.Rozanov.<ref name=urainform/> The team returned to Stalino on 28 May and the same day Gololobov in interview to newspaper "Stalinskiy rabochiy" told that "... the game in Kazan with local "Dynamo" was witnessed by 3,000 spectators.<ref name=urainform/> With the first minutes, the field hosts offered a high pace.<ref name=urainform/>

The "Miners", who were road weary, could not respond with the same. On the 13th minute they conceded the first goal and by the end of first half, two more.<ref name=urainform/> In many respects the reason was poor performance of right halfback Kutsev (who played instead of K.Pashchenko) and right outside forward Korotynsky.<ref name=urainform/> Through their flank Dynamo players successfully attacked.<ref name=urainform/> In the first half Stakhanovets forwards looked bleak and uncertain.<ref name=urainform/> In the second half the game equalized and on 55th minute Fedor Manov opened score to Donetsk team goals.<ref name=urainform/> Final score is 4:1 in favor of the hosts."<ref name=urainform/>

Nonetheless, the selective job conducted constructively by the club's administration allowed the club to compete successfully at the top level by the end of the 1930s. During the ''war championship'' of 1941, which was interrupted unexpectedly, the club defeated Soviet champions [[FC Dynamo Moscow|Dynamo Moscow]] and after about ten games were placed in fifth in the league. In the last game of that championship, played on 24 June, two days after the start of the [[Great Patriotic War]],<ref>A local name for World War II military campaign against the Soviet Union</ref> which they lost at home to [[FC Rotor Volgograd|Traktor Stalingrad]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ukrainiansoccer.net/?controller=club&action=history&id=1005&id_tournament_type=2|title=Club history {{!}} Shakhtar Donetsk|access-date=8 November 2016|archive-date=26 September 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110926205403/http://ukrainiansoccer.net/?controller=club&action=history&id=1005&id_tournament_type=2|url-status=dead}}</ref> During the war many players went to frontlines and perished among which are Ivan Ustinov, Ivan Putyatov, Volodymyr Shkurov, Ivan Horobets, Mykhailo Vasin and others.<ref name=footballnews>{{cite web |url=https://footballnews.com.ua/team/%D0%A8%D0%B0%D1%85%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80+U-8+%5B%D0%A3%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B0%2C+%D0%94%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%86%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F+%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8C%2C+%D0%94%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%86%D0%BA%5D/history/ |trans-title=FC Shakhtar history of the club |title=История клуба "ФК Шахтер" |work=Football News portal |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180423003032/https://footballnews.com.ua/team/%D0%A8%D0%B0%D1%85%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80+U-8+%5B%D0%A3%D0%BA%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B0%2C+%D0%94%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%86%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F+%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8C%2C+%D0%94%D0%BE%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%86%D0%BA%5D/history/ |archive-date=23 April 2018 }}</ref> From the pre-war squad in 1945 there were left only three players Georgiy Bikezin, Mykola Kuznetsov, and Petro Yurchenko.<ref name=footballnews/>

The All-Union coal mining society of Stakhanovite (Stakhanovets) had changed its name in July 1946 to '''Shakhtyor''' (Shakhter) and so did the Sports Society of Donbas Miners. The term Shakhtar or Shakhter (Russian variation) is occupational referring to a miner working in a subterranean mining shaft (see [[shaft mining]]), the word "shakhtar" is a local adaptation and derivative of shaft. In the Soviet Union, due to an elevated risk working underground, a subterranean mining job was more compensated in relation to other unskilled work and always in demand.

In 1950, [[Viktor Fomin]] was named [[Ukrainian Footballer of the Year]], despite the club finishing only 11th in the league. The first success for the team was in 1951, when it achieved third place in the [[Soviet Top League|USSR Championship]]. The most notable player of that achievement was the [[Forward (association football)#Striker|striker]] [[Aleksandr Ponomarev]], who came to finish his football career in [[Donbas]], the region he was born in, and was named Ukrainian Footballer of the Year for 1951. Despite the latest achievement, Shakhtar was relegated at the end of the 1952 season and as part of the re-organization of the team, former player [[Aleksandr Ponomarev]] became the head coach of the club. In 1954, Shakhtar under Ponomarev won the [[Soviet First League|Class B League]], thus sealing a return to the top league.

===Cup triumphs and establishment in the Soviet League===
[[File:Oleg Oshenkov star.jpg|thumb|100px|A star in the Shakhtar Walk of Fame in honor of [[Oleg Oshenkov]], who as manager twice led Shakhtar to [[Soviet Cup]] victory.]]
In 1958, the players of the club received fewer yellow and red cards than any other team in the championship, for what the ''[[Sovetsky Sport]]'' newspaper awarded the club with the "Fair Play Award."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hsf.narod.ru/awards/fairplay1.htm|title="За справедливую игру"|access-date=8 November 2016}}</ref>
In the 1960s, Shakhtar, under [[Oleg Oshenkov]]'s coaching, were three-time [[USSR Cup]] finalists, winning it twice in 1961 and 1962. Among the players playing for the club then where defenders [[Viacheslav Aliabiev]] and [[Vladimir Salkov]]. The club was nicknamed "The Cup Team" due to Shakhtar's success in vying for the trophy every year. The Miners' more notable achievements, however, occurred later from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s.

[[File:Зірка Віталія Старухіна на Алеї Слави Шахтаря.jpeg|thumb|100px|right|A star in the Shakhtar Walk of Fame in honor of [[Vitaliy Starukhin]], considered by many fans the greatest player in the history of Shakhtar.<ref name="sport.segodnya.ua"/>]]
Despite the departure of the team's leader midfielder [[Anatoliy Konkov]], in 1975, Shakhtar under management of former player [[Vladimir Salkov]], earned second place in the [[Soviet Top League|USSR Championship]] and received the right to represent the Soviet Union in [[UEFA|European competition]]. At the end of the season, Shakhtar received the [[Progress Cup]] for making the biggest progress from previous season in the league. They received the award again in 1977. In 1978, Shakhtar finished third in the USSR Championship.<ref name="Виктор Звягинцев: Коньков мне объяс">{{cite web|url=http://www.ua-football.com/ukrainian/high/52286911.html|title=Виктор Звягинцев: Коньков мне объяснил, что выгнать Коллину он не может. Часть 2|date=6 September 2013|access-date=8 November 2016}}</ref>

In 1979, the team finished second in the league campaign and its captain—[[Forward (association football)#Striker|striker]] [[Vitaliy Starukhin]]—became the top scorer in the [[Soviet Top League|USSR Championship]] with 26 goals scored, also being named [[Soviet Footballer of the Year]]. The club was only two points away from the first place, despite having important players leaving the club before the season, and other important players receiving injuries.<ref name="Виктор Звягинцев: Коньков мне объяс"/>

Other important players besides Starukhin at the time were [[Mykhaylo Sokolovskyi]], who went on to set a caps record for the club (for what he received the Club Loyalty Award in 1987), defenders [[Viktor Zvyahintsev]] and [[Valeriy Horbunov]], who both made it numerous times to the 33 Top Players of the Soviet Championship lists, and goalkeeper [[Yuriy Dehteryov]], who was named Soviet goalkeeper of the year and took third place for [[Soviet Footballer of the Year]] in 1977.<ref name="sport.segodnya.ua">{{cite web|url=http://sport.segodnya.ua/football/kratkaja-entsiklopedija-pobed-shakhtera.html|title=Краткая энциклопедия побед "Шахтера"|access-date=8 November 2016|archive-date=27 September 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927073150/http://sport.segodnya.ua/football/kratkaja-entsiklopedija-pobed-shakhtera.html|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Shakhtar twice, in 1980 and 1983, brought home the crystal USSR Cup to Donetsk and in 1983, it won the [[Soviet Super Cup|USSR Super Cup]] over then-domestic league champions [[FC Dnipro|Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk]]. Shakhtar reached the [[1983–84 European Cup Winners' Cup]] quarter-final, and strikers [[Viktor Hrachov]] and [[Serhiy Morozov (footballer, born 1961)|Serhiy N. Morozov]] became joint top scorers of the tournament. In 1987, Shakhtar received the fewest yellow and red cards in the championship, for which the club was awarded the "Soviet Top League Fair Play Award" by ''Man and Law'' magazine.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hsf.narod.ru/awards/fairplay2.htm|title="Справедливой игры"|access-date=8 November 2016}}</ref> Between 1982 and 1988, Shakhtar received the "Together With The Club" award five times, an award given for good organization of home games and behaviour of the home fans.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hsf.narod.ru/awards/wtc.htm|title="Вместе с командой"|access-date=8 November 2016}}</ref>

===First decade in independent Ukraine – the beginning of the Akhmetov era===
In the newly independent Ukraine, Shakhtar, along with Dynamo Kyiv, became perennial first place competitors. A bombing-assassination took place at the team's stadium, killing club president [[Akhat Bragin]] in October 1995.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Interns |date=2008-12-10 |title=Akhat Bragin - Dec. 10, 2008 |url=https://archive.kyivpost.com/article/content/ukraine-politics/akhat-bragin-31849.html |access-date=2023-06-06 |website=Kyiv Post}}</ref> In 1996, [[Rinat Akhmetov]] took over as president and invested heavily in the club.<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2009/apr/30/shakhtar-donetsk-dynamo-kyiv-uefa-cup | work=The Guardian | location=London | title=Dynamo and Shakhtar Donetsk fight for Ukraine supremacy on European stage | first=Jonathan | last=Wilson | date=30 April 2009 | access-date=2 May 2010}}</ref>

Despite Shakhtar not being a strong contender for the championship at the time, finishing second many times with a large point gap from the first-place position, they won the [[Ukrainian Cup]] three times, in [[1995 Ukrainian Cup final|1995]] (under the management of former player [[Vladimir Salkov]]), [[1997 Ukrainian Cup final|1997]] and [[2000–01 Ukrainian Cup|2001]]. In the [[1997–98 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup]], Shakhtar were eliminated after a 5–2 aggregate loss to [[LR Vicenza|Vicenza]], losing the first and second legs. Important players at the time were defenders [[Serhiy Popov]] and [[Mykhaylo Starostyak]], goalkeeper [[Dmytro Shutkov]], striker [[Oleh Matvyeyev]] (who was top scorer of the Premier League in the 1996–97 season), and [[midfielder]]s [[Hennadiy Orbu]], [[Valeriy Kryventsov]] and [[Ihor Petrov]]. Most of the players playing for the team of the time came through the team's youth ranks.
[[File:Настя Федоренко. Донецк. Увидеть и полюбить. ФК Шахтер 033.jpg|thumb|Shakhtar's jersey with DCC instead of SCM]]
Towards the end of the decade, the team finally started to look like a team able to become champion. In 1999, a Shakhtar football academy was opened and now hosts football training for roughly 3,000 youth. In 2000, [[Andriy Vorobey]] was named Ukrainian Footballer of the Year by ''Komanda'', the first Shakhtar player in independent Ukraine to do so, and became the top scorer in the [[2000–01 Vyshcha Liha]]. That year, Shakhtar competed in the [[UEFA Champions League]] for the first time, drawn in a group with Lazio, Arsenal and Sparta Prague. They finished third in the group, qualifying for the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]] after a 3–0 home win against Arsenal.

===First league triumph===

The club won its first ever Ukrainian Premier League title in the [[2001–02 Vyshcha Liha|2001–02 season]] under coach [[Nevio Scala]], winning by a single point over Dynamo Kyiv. They were also victorious in the [[2001–02 Ukrainian Cup]], defeating Dynamo 3–2 after extra time in the [[2002 Ukrainian Cup final|final]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Ukraine 2001/02|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tableso/oekr02.html|access-date=3 October 2012}}</ref> Among the key players at the club at the time were captain [[Midfielder#Defensive midfielder|defensive midfielder]] [[Anatoliy Tymoshchuk]], striker Andriy Vorobey, midfielder [[Hennadiy Zubov]] and defender [[Mykhaylo Starostyak]].

After multiple managerial changes, in 2004 the Romanian [[Mircea Lucescu]] was invited to build a team in Shakhtar. After ten days at the club, he won the [[2003–04 Ukrainian Cup]] and after three months, for the first time in club history, the club made it to the [[UEFA Champions League]] group stage, which won him the 2004 [[Romania Coach of the Year]] title.<ref name="sport.segodnya.ua"/> The strategy chosen was looking for young talented players in Brazil, which was to form the base of the attack, while the defence would supplied by largely Ukrainian talent in order to adjust to rules forcing teams to have a certain number of local players on the field.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://fairbet.su/2012/12/prichiny-uspexa-doneckogo-shaxtera-na-evropejskoj-futbolnoj-arene-ili-primer-vsem-klubam-byvshego-sssr/|title=Причины успеха Донецкого Шахтера на европейской футбольной арене, или пример всем клубам бывшего СССР.|access-date=8 November 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://football.ua/author/article/144624.html|title=Защита Луческу|access-date=8 November 2016}}</ref>

==Crests and colours==
[[File:Shakhtar Donetsk Advertisement.JPG|thumb|A public billboard in Donetsk in 2009, using the Russian name of the club]]
The first logo of the club was designed in 1936, it featured a blue [[hexagon]], with a red 'S' in the middle, crossed over by a [[jackhammer]]. In 1946, when the club was renamed, the logo was changed to black and white, with addition of club's name. Later, in the middle of the 1960s, their logo depicted two crossed hammers, with "Shakhtar Donetsk" written in the circle. The crest was added to the kit and remained there since, except for several seasons in the beginning of the 1990s. The club's name was depicted in the Russian language until the latest logo was chosen. Therefore, some sources have its name written often as "Shakhter" or rarely "Shakhtyor."

In 1989, an artist, Viktor Savilov, on the event of the club restructuring offered a draft variant of a logo with elements of the [[ball]] and a [[Association football pitch|pitch]]. Some time later, the logo was remodelled into the present one. The emblem was added to the kit in 1997.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://shakhtar.com/en/club/crest/|title=Shakhtar Crest – The Club – FC Shakhtar Donetsk official website|access-date=8 November 2016|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161111093747/http://shakhtar.com/en/club/crest/|archive-date=11 November 2016|df=dmy-all}}</ref>

In 2007, during the presentation of the club's new stadium, Shakhtar's new logo was unveiled. For the first time in over 30 years, the crossed hammers, the traditional symbols of the club, were present on the crest. Also, for the first time the name was written in the Ukrainian language and not Russian.

Since 1961 the official colours are black and orange.

==Supporters and rivalries==
{{see also|Klasychne derby|Donetsk derby}}
[[File:Ultras in the Donbas Arena, 2009.JPG|thumb|Shakhtar ultras at the [[Donbass Arena|Donbas Arena]]]]

The first riots associated with Shakhtar fans took place on 20 September 1959 in the match against [[PFC CSKA Moscow|CSKA Moscow]], when several dozen Shakhtar supporters ran onto the field, and as a result the match was frustrated. In all matches involving Donetsk, many people came that promoted the development of fan movement in Donetsk. Active development of football movement began in the early 1980s. In the early 2000s to the Ukrainian stadiums came [[Football hooliganism in the United Kingdom|English style]] – [[Football hooliganism|hooliganism]]. In 2003, during the final of the [[Ukrainian Cup]] there was a fierce fight between [[FC Dynamo Kyiv|Dynamo]] and Shakhtar fans.

The other rivalry was with [[FC Metalurh Donetsk|Metalurh Donetsk]]. This was another local club and, although not as significant as games against the rivals from the capital, the games between the two Donetsk teams were proclaimed the [[Donetsk derby]]. Metalurh went bankrupt in July 2015.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://futbolgrad.com/stal-dniprodzerzhynsk-a-poor-state-of-affairs/ |title=Stal Dniprodzerzhynsk – A Poor State Of Affairs |work=[[Futbolgrad]] |date=16 July 2015 }}</ref>

Among the extinguished rivalries are the games against [[FC Spartak Moscow|Spartak Moscow]] and, particularly, the ''third place champions'' [[FC Dinamo Tbilisi|Dinamo Tbilisi]] of Georgia that took place at times during the [[Soviet Top League]]. Another interesting rivalry, the Donbas Derby, is with [[FC Zorya Luhansk|Zorya Luhansk]], which gathered a significant crowd in [[Luhansk]]. During the early Ukrainian championships, another interesting rivalry developed with [[FC Chornomorets Odesa|Chornomorets Odesa]] labelled the "Miners vs. Sailors", which declined with the turn of the millennium due to the inconsistent performance of the [[Odesa]]-based club.
