Today, on June 13, the German city of Wiesbaden hosted the presentation of a new stamp from Ukrposhta dedicated to the participation of the national football team in Euro 2024 - "Ukraine, go!". The ceremony was attended by Ukrposhta CEO Igor Smelyansky, head coach of the Ukrainian national football team Serhiy Rebrov and Consul General of Ukraine in Frankfurt Vadym Kostiuk.
In just a few days, the Ukrainian national football team will play its first match at Euro 2024, and for a month, football fever will sweep the entire country. Ukrposhta, which always supports all important events in the country's life, joined the ranks of football fans and, together with the Ukrainian Football Association, presented the stamp "Ukraine, go!". The postage stamp has a round perforation and features an image of a soccer ball with the logo of the Ukrainian Football Association. It is printed on self-adhesive paper in a booklet format, making it easy to collect and use.
"Since the beginning of 2001, Ukrposhta has issued more than 30 stamps with football themes, and during Euro 2012 it became the official licensee of UEFA. This time we could not stay away either and together with our national team and with the support of the Ukrainian Football Association we present the stamp "Ukraine, go!", - said Igor Smelyansky, CEO of Ukrposhta. - Football always occupies an honorable place in the hearts of many Ukrainians and among my personal hobbies. By issuing this stamp, we want not only to support our guys, but also to invite everyone to cheer for the Ukrainian national football team at Euro 2024 together with Ukrposhta."
The main goal of the "Ukraine, Forward!" stamp is not only to support the national football team at Euro 2024, but also to create a symbol of solidarity and patriotism that unites all Ukrainians around a common goal.
"It is extremely important for the Ukrainian national team to feel the support of the fans. The Main Post of Ukraine, with the support of the Ukrainian Football Association, has issued a stamp that symbolizes the unity of the whole country around football. Even in these difficult times for Ukraine, it is important to remain united as a nation, to preserve and enhance our traditions and to continue to support the national team. I am confident that this stamp will be in demand among collectors and will become a good souvenir for the fans," said Serhiy Rebrov, head coach of the Ukrainian national team.
