Ukraine Champions Dynamo Kiev Line Up Fund Raising Friendlies Against Europe's Elite

Ukraine Champions Dynamo Kiev Line Up Fund Raising Friendlies Against Europe's Elite

Dynamo Kiev have lined up a series of friendly matches against some of Europe's biggest clubs to raise funds for the victims of the Russia-Ukraine war.

The games will take place between April and June.

Dynamo Kiev are the champions of the Ukraine Premier League but the championship has been on hold since Russia's invasion of Ukraine at the start of last month.

Kiev are set to face the likes of Barcelona, who they faced in the group stage of this season's UEFA Champions League, Paris Saint Germain, AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund, Benfica, Ajax Amsterdam and Sporting Lisbon in the upcoming games.

"Thanks to the support of the leadership of our country, Dynamo will take part in an international charitable mission - a series of friendly games with top clubs in Europe," read an official club statement.

"All these matches will be held under the slogan "Match for Peace! Let's Stop the War!" The purpose of these matches is to inform the international community about the terrible war in Ukraine and to raise funds to support Ukrainians who suffered from the war with the Russian aggressor.

"All friendly matches of Dynamo will be shown on Ukrainian and European TV channels. The project will also involve stars of Ukrainian arts who will support the charitable mission of our club."

Dynamo Kiev trailed Shakhtar Donetsk by two points before the league was halted after the first round of fixtures.
