“Cheer for those who cheer for us”: FAVBET calls on Ukrainian football fans to support Ukraine’s allies at the 2022 World Cup

Published

November 20 marked the kickoff of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. An event long anticipated by football fans and quite unique in several respects. This year, for the first time ever, the World Cup takes place in the Middle East, in winter, and… against the backdrop of the largest military confrontation in Europe since World War II.

While the stands of Qatari stadiums explode with applause, Ukrainian fans hear explosions in the streets of their cities, and the Ukrainian army bravely resists unprovoked Russian aggression on the several thousand kilometers of frontlines.

However, even in such circumstances, FAVBET and Kyiv-based creative agency Taktika found a way to engage Ukrainian fans and remind the world that football is not only about fighting, but also about unity and support that goes beyond the borders.

“The world will not see our team on Qatar’s football pitches, but for almost a year it has been watching our fight on a pitch of a different kind – the battlefield. And not only watching, but tirelessly supporting. England, the Netherlands, Spain, Poland, the USA, France and many other countries have been supplying and training the Ukrainian military, providing shelter to our citizens and defending our interests on the diplomatic front. We decided that the World Cup is a great opportunity to say thank you to Ukraine’s allies for this unwavering support,” says FAVBET’s creative copywriter Mykola Bezkrovnyi.

The campaign is based on short videos shot on the streets of Ukraine’s capital city of Kyiv. The centerpiece of the story are the Ukrainian fans with vintage scarves, which, many years ago, they waved during the matches of Ukraine’s team against our current allies. “We once held these scarves because we fiercely wanted to defeat you. We hold them now because we sincerely want you to win. Just like you want us to win too,” says the voiceover of the campaign’s manifesto.

This campaign was Favbet’s idea, and our task was to find the best form and style for it. We realized that we once used to be opponents on the football pitch with almost all of our current allies. Now, the scarves from these matches are turning from symbols of our rivalry into those of unity. Many fans still have them at home as a memory. We decided to use thescarves as a powerful visual symbol and built a campaign around them,” says Roman Gurbanov, Taktika co-founder and creative director.

In addition to the manifesto, the campaign also includes videos dedicated to supporting particular Ukrainian allies like Poland and England. The videos were shot by Ukraine-based studio Digital Religion known for their advertising work for the world’s leading brands like Samsung, Visa, Pepsi, Uber, and others. Check out the videos on FAVBET’s YouTube:

Support those who support us

FAVBET’s new campaign is not only a token of gratitude to the allies, but also a reminder that the war, unlike a football match, does not end with the referee’s whistle. While the World Cup will wrap up in a few weeks, Ukraine will continue its fight against the aggressor that seeks to destroy Ukrainian identity and its need for support will remain as high as ever. That is why FAVBET Foundation is now accepting international donations so that football fans from all over the world can also contribute to Ukraine’s victory.

As an international company with Ukrainian roots, FAVBET has been supporting Ukraine since the first days of Russia’s full-scale invasion, implementing numerous humanitarian initiatives and providing the Ukrainian military with the necessary equipment. Today, 95% of FAVBET Foundation’s projects are focused on helping the country’s citizens and the army, i. e. evacuating residents of frontline cities, purchasing ambulances and vehicles for the needs of the Armed Forces, as well as supplying high-tech communications equipment and drones.

2026 World Cup

Bet St George survey: 40% of England fans tip World Cup win

bet-st-george-survey:-40%-of-england-fans-tip-world-cup-win

Bet St George has published new research claiming four in ten England fans expect the Three Lions to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The betting brand said the poll of 1,000 England sports fans was conducted between 15 and 18 May 2026, with the tournament set to start on Thursday.

In the survey, 40% of respondents said they expect England to lift the trophy in North America this summer. Optimism is highest among 25 to 34 year olds, where 67% backed England to win.

The research also points to a broader national narrative around the team. Nearly three-quarters (72%) of fans agreed that the England team brings the nation together. Separately, 26% said a World Cup win would rank among their top three most important life events, rising to 31% among men.

Regionally, Bet St George said England sports fans living in Scotland were the most confident cohort in the dataset, with 77% backing England to win and 96% agreeing the team brings the nation together. Greater London also skewed optimistic (53% backing England; 36% placing a win among their most important life events), while Yorkshire and the Humber was more cautious (31% backing England; 19% ranking a win as a top life moment).

Andre Au, Marketing Director at Bet St George, said: “England has one of the most passionate sporting audiences in the world, but for a long time, it was the only nation in the UK without a sportsbook built around its own identity.

“We created Bet St George because supporting England is different. World Cup fever hits massively once the squad is announced. For England, it is the expectation. It’s all about the previous hurt, penalty shoot-outs, the build-up, the predictions, and the debates with your mates. The whole nation feels that this tournament might finally be the one.”

Advanced Compliance Technology (ACT), an independent provider of geolocation, sports integrity and risk solutions for the global regulated betting and gaming industry, has launched its next-generation AI and machine learning-powered Compliance and Integrity Platform.

The new platform brings together geolocation, identity verification, fraud detection, behavioural monitoring and sports integrity checks into a single, real-time solution.

The self-optimising platform leverages advanced AI and machine learning (ML) models to process and analyse 100,000s of data points related to athletes, leagues, officials, teams, betting markets, bookmakers, player activity, transactional behaviour and geolocation intelligence.

Advanced ML models also monitor player performance, injuries and behavioural patterns to identify anomalies, suspicious activity, integrity risks and emerging compliance threats as they develop.

When an alert is raised, ACT’s team of compliance, fraud and integrity specialists are on hand to support customers with expert judgements, providing even greater confidence through human-in-the-loop oversight.

By bringing these traditionally siloed compliance disciplines together, ACT’s new dashboard provides operators, regulators and sport governing bodies with a unified view of risk across the entire player and betting lifecycle, facilitating faster, more informed decisions based on live data and risk analysis.

Mike Venner, Co-Founder and Director at Advanced Compliance Technology, said: “Traditional compliance systems were built in silos. ACT is building the next-generation oversight platform, bringing geolocation, KYC, AML, fraud detection, behavioural monitoring, and sports integrity together in a single AI and machine learning-powered ecosystem.

“By transforming fragmented data into connected intelligence, ACT identifies risks and patterns at a scale no human team could achieve alone. Combined with decades of compliance, fraud, and integrity expertise, our platform ensures that advanced technology is reinforced by experienced human oversight, delivering smarter decisions, stronger enforcement, and more effective compliance outcomes.”
