From February 6 to 15, 2023, the BGV WINTER CUP 2023 charity football tournament took place in Turkey. As part of the event, Zhytomyr-based football club “Polissya”, together with the BGV Charity Fund, launched a major football fundraiser to support Ukrainian defenders.

As a result, the organizers raised approximately 1.4 million UAH to support the reconnaissance units of the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces. During the tournament, fans donated 60,000 UAH to the foundation’s special account. The president of Tallinn’s FC “Levadia,” Viktor Levada, also joined the cause, donating 15,000 euros for the procurement of equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. After the tournament concluded, the president of FC “Polissya,” Hennadiy Butkevych, matched the total raised amount.

With the collected funds, which amounted to 1.4 million UAH, the BGV Fund purchased and delivered 13 Mavic 3 drones to support Ukrainian military intelligence.
