WHAT HAPPENED? The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, announced the Game4Ukraine charity match to be held on 5 August at 6pm BST in support of his UNITED24 initiative, aiming to raise funds through ticket sales for the reconstruction of a school in Chernihiv Oblast, named the Mykhailo-Kotsiubynsky Lyceum. The game will feature two sides - Team Yellow and Team Blue - representing the national colours of Ukraine, and will be captained by Zinchenko and Shevchenko, who are Ukrainian citizens and also ambassadors for UNITED24.

THE BIGGER PICTURE: Some of the biggest names in football are set to participate in the match along with a few celebrity guest players. The squads will be gradually announced between now and August. A live music concert will also be organised during an extended 45-minute half-time break to draw more fans.

WHAT THEY SAID?: "We discussed a charity match for Ukraine with President Zelenskyy a year ago, when I became the first ambassador of UNITED24. It took time to arrange such an event," said Shevchenko. "The game for Ukraine and for the sake of Ukraine will take place at a stadium that I know very well. It is Chelsea's home stadium, Stamford Bridge. I am sure that both Chelsea and Arsenal fans will support this match, as well as everyone who likes football and wants to express their solidarity with Ukraine."
