KV Mechelen has announced plans to host a charity football match against the Ukrainian club FC Karpaty Lviv on October 2. The event is designed to raise funds for a center in Lviv that provides care and guidance for traumatized war veterans.

The initiative is rooted in a sister-city relationship between Mechelen and Lviv established two years ago. Following previous humanitarian efforts including convoys and administrative assistance, this match aims to demonstrate solidarity between the two cities. All proceeds from ticket sales will be directed to the veteran center.
