History
The team was founded on 25 July 2015, playing Abkhazia in their first game.[2] Donetsk PR also took part in the 2018 CONIFA World Football Cup qualification but failed to make it through to the finals. Sascha Düerkop, general secretary of CONIFA, stated that he did not agree with the Donetsk PR politically — comparing them negatively with the Chagossians — but that "that was not the point" and they were allowed to compete.[3] CONIFA were criticized for supporting "Russia-backed separatism."[4] Donetsk PR were scheduled to take part in the 2019 CONIFA European Football Cup but later withdrew.[5][6]
