The Ukrainian champions will also move their headquarters to Kiev, CEO Sergei Palkin has confirmed.
The move could spark the return of six Shakhtar players who refused to come back to the club amid fears for their own safety.
Shakhtar ran out 2-0 winners against rivals Dynamo Kiev in their Super Cup game on Tuesday night.
