Everton will welcome around 2,000 Ukrainians from across Merseyside to Friday’s final pre-season friendly against Dynamo Kyiv.
The club confirmed last week that they were liaising with councils across the Merseyside region to distribute free tickets to Ukrainian refugees for the upcoming 'Match for Peace'. And now ahead of the game, the club have revealed that their free ticket offer has been welcomed enthusiastically by refugees rehoused in the city region as a result of the conflict that rages on in their country.
One of the refugees set to attend the game with her family is Olesja Petriv, who has played a pivotal role in helping several Ukrainians, including her own family, seek safety and sanctuary in the UK.
