Greek outfit Olympiacos are set to host Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk in a friendly match this weekend.
This of course comes with Ukraine’s clubs currently unable to compete in any competitions following Russia’s invasion of the country on the 24th of February, 2022.
Ukraine’s national team are too yet to learn their World Cup fate as the country’s playoff clash with Scotland has been pushed back to June because of the war.
Elsewhere, Shakhtar have not played a league match since the 18th of February.
Amid the stoppage of football in Ukraine, some clubs, including Manchester City, have allowed players from Ukraine to train with them.
And now, Olympiacos have confirmed that they will face Shakhtar this coming Saturday in a friendly, with all proceeds from the game going towards supporting refugees:
