Everton are liaising with councils across the Liverpool City Region to distribute free tickets to Ukrainian refugees for the upcoming ‘Match for Peace’ against Dynamo Kyiv. The club is working with the six councils: Liverpool; Wirral, St Helens, Sefton, Knowsley and Halton to ensure families who have been housed across the local area as part of the Government’s ‘Home For Ukraine’ scheme have the opportunity to attend the game.
The charity fundraising game at Goodison Park on Friday July 29 (kick-off 7:45pm) is the first played in the UK by Ukrainian giants, Dynamo Kyiv, as part of their ‘Match For Peace’ initiative. To mark the occasion, the club are donating free tickets to local councils to benefit the hundreds of Ukrainian families who are being housed in the region, having escaped the war in their homeland.
Everton manager Frank Lampard said: “We are delighted to work with councils across the city region to extend this invitation to the Ukrainian refugee families and their hosts living here on Merseyside. We are committed to doing all we can to help those people impacted by the shocking war in Ukraine.
