Once again, with this action we demonstrate: no matter which team we support, we are all together, we are all united by a common goal. We all have the same goal – the victory of Ukraine and help to people who suffered in the war. Taking this opportunity, I would like to urge football people to join the fund.”
The initiators of the charity fund “Tribune of Heroes” were Ukrainian football ultras. The purpose of the fund is to provide systematic financial, social and legal support to the families of football fans killed in the war.

Our goal is to help the families of the ultras killed in the war. In order for the fund to work, it is very important to have the support of the football community. Here in Lviv we have it. This is an unprecedented action, because Ukrainian football is united around one common goal.”

Therefore, we are very pleased that the football community supported our initiative and is making every effort to achieve the goal of the fund.”
