UNITED24 and AWT Bavaria Kick Off Exclusive Football Gift Initiative to Protect Ukrainian Skies and Childhoods

Every day, for 4 years and counting, children across Ukraine live through russia’s constant aerial attacks. Childhood should be a time of innocence, growth and wonder. But for many Ukrainian children, that reality has been stolen by war.

That’s why, together with AWT Bavaria, a partner of UNITED24 and the official automotive partner of the Ukrainian Association of Football, we are launching a project to support the protection of Ukrainian skies and childhoods, with AWT Bavaria offering exclusive gifts.

Children are the future of every nation—the next generation of strikers, defenders, captains, and fans in the stands. But every day, russia steals more of that future. 

Now, instead of listening for the referee’s whistle, they instinctively listen for the whistle of missiles overhead. Where once they cheered under stadium lights, they now run toward the dim glow of shelters. And after practice, a hot shower is replaced by washing in the cold and the dark—because russia deliberately targets critical infrastructure.

Your donation helps save lives and gives Ukrainian children something incredibly important: the chance to keep dreaming, playing, and growing up under safer skies.

Because every save matters—both on the pitch and in real life.

From March 22 to April 22, UNITED24 and AWT Bavaria will be holding a special raffle with exclusive football-themed gifts. These include a Team Ukraine jersey of #16 Vitalii Mykolenko, signed by the national team and by Andriy Shevchenko—UNITED24 ambassador and President of the Ukrainian Association of Football—after a winning match, as well as a football, also signed by the national team.

Everyone who donates $10 or more will get a chance to receive a football signed by the national team. 

Step onto the pitch with us—join the initiative today.
