Sky Max to broadcast Game 4 Ukraine

July 11, 2023 12.48 Europe/London By Julian Clover

Sky Max will screen a special football match that will feature both Premier League and international greats as part of a fun day of entertainment.

Game4Ukraine is the brainchild of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Ukrainian footballing royalty Andriy Shevchenko and Oleksandr Zinchenko.

The 11-a-side legends match will also be free-to-stream for everyone based in Ukraine.

Game4Ukraine will see Team Blue coached by Chelsea manager Emma Hayes take on former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger’s Team Yellow with an array of Premier League, World Cup and European Cup winners across both sides including Gerard Piqué, Clarence Seedorf, Patrick Vieira, Fabio Cannavaro, Samuel Eto’o, Gianfranco Zola and Michael Essien.

Fans will also be entertained throughout the event with Super Bowl style performances where the stadium will transform into a concert venue with world class entertainers including Alesha Dixon, Melanie C (DJ), Pete Doherty, The Pretenders, Tom Grennan, and Tom Walker, as well as Ukranian artist Vakarchuk of Ocean Elzy Band and Boombox.

Shevchenko and Zinchenko are Ambassadors of UNITED24, the official fundraising platform of Ukraine, curated by President Zelenskyy and the pair recently joined the President in visiting the Mykhailo-Kotsiubynsky Lyceum school, in Chernihiv Oblast which has been almost destroyed by missile strikes and will directly benefit from funds raised by the match.
