28 years ago, on October 11, 1996, Rinat Akhmetov became the president of FC Shakhtar
On this day, FC Shakhtar publishes its annual report summarizing the club's activities in the 2023/24 season.
The annual report includes the CEO’s report, data on infrastructure and management of the club, statistics of the first team performance with convenient infographics, sections about the women’s team and the Academy, work of the Shakhtar Social foundation and charitable activities of FC Shakhtar under conditions of the full-scale war in Ukraine, as well as financial records on revenue of the club and taxes paid.
The annual report is started with a traditional statement of the president of the club.
“Dear fans! Dear friends!
The full-scale war in Ukraine has been going on for more than 2 years. FC Shakhtar, together with the whole country, together with every Ukrainian, continues our joint struggle. We do not give up, we steadfastly withstand all challenges and overcome obstacles. Together with you, we do everything to bring our shared victory closer.
I believe that Shakhtar's successes and victories bring joy to millions of fans in this difficult time. But we strive to support Ukrainians not only with our play. The club supports our country in the battle: we help the military, assist in the treatment and rehabilitation of wounded soldiers and peaceful Ukrainians who suffered as a result of hostilities. Shakhtar places special emphasis on supporting children – those whose parents have been taken by the war and those who have been forced to leave their homes. And we will continue to help and do everything possible to bring the victory of Ukraine and the long-awaited, just peace closer.
In the 2023/24 season, Shakhtar got a new head coach, Marino Pusic. We believed in this manager and his ideas, and we were not mistaken. Marino Pusic and his coaching staff are building a strong team that worthily represent the country on the European stage and secured a golden double at the end of the season: they won the league title and the Ukrainian Cup. This is our second consecutive title since the start of the full-scale war, making these achievements all the more valuable to us.
This season, a new team appeared in the family of our club – Shakhtar Stalevi. This is a team consisting of Ukrainian soldiers, real heroes who sacrificed their health, protecting Ukraine and Ukrainians. Each of them is an example of courage and perseverance. They fascinate and inspire us all.
And, of course, this season's title would not be possible without our fans. Unfortunately, we cannot play in full stadiums, but the team always feel the energy and support of millions of fans. I’m confident that many more trophies are ahead of us, and we will celebrate future wins with our fans.
And these victories will definitely happen. I like our team – young, ambitious, ready for fight and new achievements. I’m sure that we are building the strongest Shakhtar in the history of our club. I believe in this team, I believe in our coach, I believe in the management of the club and I believe that together we will achieve great success.
And I believe with all my heart in Ukraine and the Ukrainian people. In our victory over the enemy, in the free and happy future of our country. While the war is going on, all our thoughts are about helping people and the front, about returning our land, about peace and security for all Ukrainians. Therefore, we continue to give all our strength – in life and on the football field – and work towards our common Victory!”
