A charity football match held on August 5, 2023, at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge stadium in London. The event aimed to raise funds for the reconstruction of the Mykhailo-Kotsiubynsky School in Chernihiv Oblast, Ukraine, which had been damaged during the ongoing conflict.
The match featured two teams captained by prominent Ukrainian footballers: Oleksandr Zinchenko and Andriy Shevchenko. The squads included a mix of football legends and celebrities, such as Michael Essien, Gianfranco Zola, Robert Pires, and Gerard Piqué. Coaching duties were undertaken by Arsène Wenger and Emma Hayes. Beyond the football action, the event included musical performances from artists like Tom Grennan, The Pretenders, and Tom Walker, contributing to a festive atmosphere. The match concluded in a 2-2 draw, symbolising unity and support for Ukraine during challenging times.
FilmDuo’s involvement centred on a successful investment pitch promotion by the founders of what proved to be the most watched TV charity event since Live8.
