Game4Ukraine: Date, kick-off time, ticket info and latest news as Arsenal legends Wenger and Vieira face Chelsea icons Essien and Zola
Game4Ukraine is set to be a very special charity match involving plenty of legends and tickets are on sale to the general public.
The match was announced by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a public address and will show Russia that the football world stands against their war.
Ukraine was invaded by their neighbours Russia last year, forcing millions of people to leave their homes and country.
A school was destroyed by Russian missile attacks recently, and all the money raised through sponsorship deals, ticket sales and merchandise will be used to rebuild it.
Plus, several Premier League icons, including Patrick Vieira and Arsene Wenger, are set to feature.
This special charity match will take place on Saturday, August 5.
Kick-off at Stamford Bridge is scheduled for 6pm.
Tickets for the one-off match are now on sale to the general public and can be purchased here via the Chelsea website.
