FC Shakhtar Donetsk
FC Shakhtar Donetsk is the best Ukrainian football club of recent years, having regularly finished first or second in the table over the past quarter of a century. The team from the east of the country is located in a heavily industrial area where many coal mines can also be found. This is reflected in the team name itself as shakhtar translates to miner. This reference was incorporated into the name by several sports clubs during the USSR era.

Borussia Dortmund
The second most successful club in the history of the Bundesliga has the nicknames Die Borussen, Der BVB and Die Schwarzgelben (the yellow and black). Perhaps needless to say, the club colours are yellow and black, which is also on the emblem. They play at the Wesfalenstadion, a stadium with a capacity of 81,365 for league matches and 65,825 for international ones. However, for sponsorship reasons it is now called Signal Iduna Park. It is the largest stadium in Germany and the seventh largest in Europe. It is also the stadium with the highest average attendance than any other club stadium in the world.
