Arsenal Sokal is a football club-academy from the Sokal region just north of Lviv in western Ukraine, close to the Polish border. The region is in general poor and most of the children can not afford to purchase proper football equipment. The club therefore tries to provide what equipment is necessary to allow most children to take part in the activities but struggles to find local sponsors able to help out.v Several of the children have lost a parent in the war in Eastern Ukraine so the Ukrainian Children of War project has agreed to partner with Arsenal Sokal to raise funds for equipment. In a poor region where activities for children are limited, Arsenal Sokal provides an important social+ and health function in the area.
