Abstract
- Shakhtar Donetsk, a soccer team based in the Donbas region of Ukraine, has not been able to play a home game since 2014 due to war and instability in the area. Despite this, the team has continued to win and has become a symbol of resilience for Ukrainian sports during a national crisis. Shakhtar has had to play in borrowed stadiums and temporary accommodations in different cities, and even travel long distances for their home games in the Champions League. The team has faced challenges such as losing foreign players and their manager, but has managed to rebuild and promote young players from their youth academy. The players have made sacrifices, such as being separated from their families, to keep the team going. [Extracted from the article]
