CEO Shakhtar Sergei Palkin commented on the future charity match with the Japanese club Avispa Fukuoka.
“I would like to thank the club’s management and the Avispa Fukuoka team for agreeing to hold a charity match with Shakhtar and helping to organize the game in one of the main sports arenas in Japan. This meeting is of great importance not only for our club, but also for all Ukrainians: after all, firstly, it demonstrates the solidarity of Japanese society with the people of Ukraine, and secondly, all funds received from the match will be used to support victims of -for Russian military aggression and other humanitarian projects.”
The match will take place on December 18 at the Japan National Stadium (Shinjuku, Tokyo) with the support of the Japan Football Association and the Japan Professional Football League, as well as with the assistance of the UN.
According to the host party, the goal of the event is to spread support for Ukraine in the world through football. Profits from ticket sales will be donated to the reconstruction of Ukraine.
Let us remind you that in August the Miners played a charity match with Tottenham (1:5). As it later became known, the proceeds in the amount of 505 thousand pounds sterling (22 million hryvnia) will be used by the Shakhtar Social Foundation to implement projects to support and assist Ukrainians who suffered as a result of a full-scale war with Russia.
Avispa Fukuoka is a Japanese J1 League club. Three rounds before the finish, the team takes eighth place.
