Revolut’s partnership builds upon the existing work it has done with a range of charities to make a real difference to the lives of Ukrainian people in need. In the first month of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Revolut customers raised more than €10 million through a charity appeal to help those impacted. More than 300,000 customers across 50 countries had donated to the appeal that month, with the funds going to the Red Cross Ukraine appeal.
To further support the cause, in 2023 Revolut added a dedicated charity appeal for victims of the Kakhovka Dam disaster. This fundraise was led by British-Ukrainian Aid, the charity makes direct contact with those in need on the ground, assesses what people need and provides immediate help for emergency and relief operations.
Tickets for the match are available on the official Game4Ukraine website.
