The game will take place at Home Farm FC, in Whitehall. The Lord Mayor of Dublin Alison Gilliland will attend, as will the Ukrainian Ambassador to Ireland, Larysa Gerasko. Virtual tickets are also available.
The group has had a relationship with football fans from Ukraine ever since 2011, when they travelled to the city of Lviv for a fans football tournament.
“When will the next EuroFanz take place? Will we see some of our Ukrainian friends again? Surreal,” announced YBIG in a blog post.
“We were supposed to be there again in June. Some of the Ukraine group were planning a return visit to Dublin for the NL game in September. This is a visit that they won’t be making but it will be a destination for many Ukraine refugees. It’s estimated at up to 100,000 will be coming into Ireland. How quickly things change.”
Ireland Vs Ukraine in a football supporters fundraiser match takes place at Home Farm Football Club, Whitehall on Friday 25th March K.O. 7.30pm. Tickets can be purchased here.
