Ukrainian children are excited to see FC Shakhtar Match at Stamford Bridge
Pupils from the Sunflower Ukrainian Supplementary School had the exciting opportunity to attend the football match between FC Shakhtar Donetsk and AEK Athens FC on 14 October 2026 at Stamford Bridge, London.
The Union of Ukrainian Teachers in Great Britain allocated 100 complimentary tickets to Ukrainian schools and educational centres across the UK, giving young Ukrainian football fans the chance to cheer on the legendary Ukrainian club, Shakhtar Donetsk. A number of these tickets were given to pupils from the Sunflower Ukrainian Supplementary School in Milton Keynes.
Our pupils were overjoyed when they received the news. For many, it was their first time experiencing a major football match at a Premier League stadium. Their excitement spread throughout the school, and the evening did not disappoint — the children cheered and celebrated every moment with pride and energy.
It was a truly unforgettable experience, filled with joy, Ukrainian spirit, and the shared happiness of supporting their team together. 💙💛⚽
