In spite of that Friday is a working day a big queue gathered today near the Nike brand-name shop in the ТС “Donetsk City”. No wonder, The UEFA Cup won by Shakhtar came here! As it was promised, during three days the silver Cup stands conspicuously at the shop of “miners”’ service sponsor.

For the moment football fans have no problem to make a photo in front of the fifteen-kilo Cup protected with a special tape. There is also an opportunity to make a photo near the Cup. One should only make a purchase and show the check to the security for that. On the average more than 100 men make a photo with the Cup per hour. And among comers there are people of all age groups: both the youth and experienced fans.

- I and seven of my friends have specially come here from Severodonetsk, - says Anatoliy Samoylov. – I’m Shakhtar’s fan since 1961 and I saw the first cup successes of “miners”. Since then I try to visit all domestic matches of the loved team and as far as possible – away matches. I’ve bought Shakhtar’s T-shirt and made a photo with the UEFA Cup as a keepsake. It turns out doubly pleasant!

We would remind you that on Sunday the trophy will have a short working day. On 3 and 4 July the UEFA Cup will be at Nike shop from 12.00 to 19.00, on July 5 – from 12.00 to 16.00.
