Thomas Partey announces his backing for the Game4Ukraine initiative

Arsenal’s midfielder Thomas Partey has offered his support to the Game4Ukraine campaign, an initiative started by his teammate Oleksandr Zinchenko.

This charitable effort aims to raise funds for the reconstruction of the Mykhailo-Kotsiubynsky School in Chernihiv Oblast.

The campaign will reach its pinnacle with a charity match scheduled to take place at Stamford Bridge in London on Saturday, August 5.

Partey, along with his teammate Bukayo Saka, expressed their solidarity with the cause through a heartfelt video.

The Ghanaian footballer has joined a notable roster of former football stars and sports figures who will be taking part in this charitable match.

The Game4Ukraine charity game is anticipated to be a star-studded occasion, featuring two teams led by Ukrainian football legend Andriy Shevchenko and Oleksandr Zinchenko, the Ukrainian international and Arsenal star.

Partey was in the starting lineup for Arsenal during their victory in the Emirates Cup against French Ligue 1 side AS Monaco at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.

Among the distinguished list of former footballers and sports personalities set to grace the charity game are Michael Essien, Luca Toni, Ricardo Carvalho, Jermain Defoe, Samuel Eto’o, and Claudio Makelele, among others.

The event will also see the participation of football icons like Gianfranco Zola, William Gallas, Danny Drinkwater, Joe Cole, Christian Panucci, Julio Cesar, and James Arthur, among others.
