Donetsk’s Shakhtar and Wisła’s Stadium

According to Novyny.live: Shakhtar Donetsk will no longer host its Champions League home games at Wisła Krakow’s stadium. The decision was confirmed by Wisła’s president, Jarosław Królewski. According to him, the club’s priorities must take precedence over sentiment and personal relationships.

Wisła’s Own Path Forward

Królewski also stated that Wisła will not organize home matches for Ekstraklasa newcomers ‘Wieczysta’.
