The revenues of FC Shakhtar Donetsk for the 2012/2013 season amounted to $166 million, the club's director general, Serhiy Palkin, has said.

"I think that it's a good tool to meet UEFA's financial fair play requirements. If someone wants to see the said amount in more detail, the club will release a report for the 2012/2013 season on October 4, in which everyone will find all of the information about our revenues, and not only that," he wrote on his Facebook page on Tuesday.
