The main components of the new design include the inscription "United for Ukraine" and a patch featuring the U24 platform graphics. Additionally, at the initiative of Andriy Pyvovarov, the president of the Ukrainian Football Association (UAF) and UEFA Executive Committee member, two original elements were added to the design. The first is a unique map of Ukraine with borders depicted as flags of countries supporting our country in its war against Russian occupiers. This serves as a sign of respect and gratitude to international partners for their assistance. The second element is player numbers displayed as names of Ukrainian settlements defended by real heroes, known worldwide.

The unique jersey was very well received by staff at the US Embassy in Kyiv, as evidenced on their resources: "The Ukrainian national football team has developed yet another amazing jersey featuring flags of countries supporting Ukraine and heroic Ukrainian cities. Unfortunately, Russia will not be able to see it in action. Congratulations to the head of the Ukrainian Football Association, Andriy Pyvovarov! Glory to Ukraine!"

We remind you that part of the jerseys will be donated to each settlement mentioned on the jersey for local museums. Another portion of the limited edition will be put up for auction, and funds raised will be donated to the United24 platform for Ukraine's reconstruction.
