BBC Sport reports that Shakhtar Donetsk intends to host its Champions League home fixtures at Chelsea‘s Stamford Bridge stadium.

Sources emphasize that this decision is not driven by commercial interests.

Other potential venues considered for hosting elite European football matches in West London included Fulham‘s Craven Cottage and the Gtech Community Stadium in Brentford.

The opportunity to use Chelsea‘s stadium arose after the club finished 10th in the Premier League last season, which meant they did not qualify for European competitions.
