Shaktar Donetsk have been forced to move their Champions league and domestic games in the western city of Lviv to escape from the Ukraine's strife-torn east. Shakhtar chose to play their games at Lviv Arena a stadium that hosted matches during the European championship in 2002 after being offered a choice of four venues by European soccer governing body UEFA.
The conflict, which was brought into sharp focus by the downing of a Malaysian Airlines flight near Donetsk last week, has rocked the club, with six of its players refusing to return to the country.
