Read on to find out everything you need to know about Binance’s new partnership with one of Ukraine’s top football teams.
Binance is proud to be partnering with Shakhtar, one of Ukrainian football’s most prestigious clubs. Founded in 1936, FC Shakhtar has won the Ukrainian Premier League and the Ukrainian Cup 13 times each.
