VBET becomes a partner of the charity match Game4Ukraine, which will take place on August 5th at Stamford Bridge Stadium in London. Two teams lineups, captained by ambassadors of the fundraising platform UNITED24, Andriy Shevchenko and Oleksandr Zinchenko, have been announced on the official website.

This match is supported by the initiative of the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, and the 4 hour international legends match and live music event is being produced by Legends Soccer Group for a global fundraising broadcast. The main focus of the event and show is to drive donations for the restoration of Mykhailo-Kotsiubynsky Lyceum in the Chernihiv region. The educational institution was damaged by Russian occupiers in March 2022.

VBET has become a partner of Game4Ukraine. The company’s branding will appear on the players’ shorts and at Stamford Bridge Stadium. In collaboration with UNITED24 and Game4Ukraine, VBET will organize some activities to promote the charity match not only in Ukraine but also in other European countries where the global group of VBET operates, including the United Kingdom.

“We understand the value of responsibility towards the country, society, and players, that’s why VBET could not stay indifferent to this event. We proudly support Andriy Shevchenko and Oleksandr Zinchenko in their endeavors. The global brand VBET will not only be a partner of this symbolic football match. VBET Ukraine will actively participate in additional activations aimed at increasing the donation amount,” commented the partnership Artem Ivanytsky, CMO, VBET Ukraine.

“The match at Stamford Bridge on August 5th will be the biggest charitable event for UNITED24 not only internationally but also overall for the platform. We have a very important mission ahead of us – to raise enough funds to bring back 415 children to their classrooms at the beloved Mykhailo-Kotsiubynsky Lyceum. We thank VBET Ukraine for deciding to share this great responsibility with us and becoming the first Ukrainian partner of the match,” says Yaroslava Hres, coordinator of the fundraising platform UNITED24.

“Not only do we have what is probably the best line up of World soccer stars on the pitch, and celebrities who can really play – we are excited to announce an all star line up of music stars to perform at Game4Ukraine, live on Sky in the UK and around the globe. We hope audiences around the world tune in and support this amazing game and every donation” Lester Holcombe – Executive Producer

Football and music has always had an incredible ability to bring people together and we really hope this will be a day to remember for everyone, united in looking towards a better future.” – Andriy Shevchenko

“It’s incredible to see so many big names from the world of football and music come together to help us raise vital funds to start rebuilding our beautiful country. I hope we can fill the stadium on August 5th and really make this a day to be proud of.” – Oleksander Zinchenko

Esports Charts, the leading esports viewership analytics provider, has partnered with StarLadder, a pioneering tournament organiser. The Budapest Major 2025 marks a highly anticipated comeback for StarLadder, as it is their first Counter-Strike Major since 2019 and a significant return to the top-tier esports arena.

As the official analytics partner of the StarLadder Budapest Major 2025, Esports Charts will provide comprehensive, real-time audience data and insights throughout the event. This will empower organisers, teams, sponsors and fans with unparalleled transparency and a deeper understanding of the tournament’s global reach.

Artyom Odintsov, Co-founder and CEO of Esports Charts, said: “We are thrilled and proud to provide viewership analytics for StarLadder for the Budapest Major 2025. Since both Esports Charts and StarLadder are Ukraine-born companies, we share similar values and deal with similar challenges, which brings us even closer.

“It’s genuinely exciting to follow how viewership will develop at this Major. But knowing the expertise, drive, and passion that the organizers are bringing, I have no doubt we’ll witness some incredible things happen in Budapest.

“Esports Charts has always been driven by a mission to provide the esports community with accurate, actionable data, and we look forward to showcasing the impact and audience engagement of this world-class event.”

StarLadder has been a driving force in global esports for almost 15 years now, since hosting its first tournaments in 2011. Renowned for its innovation and reliability, the company has organised some of the industry’s most iconic events. These include the StarLadder Berlin Major 2019, which accumulated over 44 million hours watched and remains in the top 10 CS events by this metric, and the legendary StarSeries tournaments which started back in 2012.

Viacheslav Shcherbakov, Sales and Partnerships at StarLadder, said: “We’ve been working with Esports Charts since their founding and have always valued their professionalism and integrity. In a market where reliable data is essential, Esports Charts provides honest, transparent numbers, exactly the kind of insights sponsors and stakeholders rely on when assessing the potential reach of a World Championship event.

“We’re confident that this partnership will result in a high-quality analysis of our tournament’s performance and the audience data we’ll report to our partners. It’s a collaboration built on trust, shared values, and a deep understanding of what it takes to elevate esports to the next level.”

The Starladder Budapest Major 2025 will be held from November 24 to December 14 in Budapest, Hungary. The event will bring together the world’s top 32 Counter-Strike 2 teams to compete for a $1.25 million prize pool and one of the most prestigious titles in esports.
