Game4Ukraine

Documentary storytelling to support investment, growth and a new media venture.

Commissioned by television producers Lester Holcombe and Laura Cotterill, I produced a behind-the-scenes documentary capturing the delivery of Game4Ukraine, a global charity football event held at Stamford Bridge in support of Ukraine.

Created as an investor film, it documented the leadership, resilience and professionalism required to coordinate an event involving the Ukrainian government, Sky Television, Chelsea Football Club and an array of sporting and musical talent.

The film helped communicate the growth potential of Legends Soccer Group, supporting investment discussions and the subsequent launch of Legends TV.

Challenge

Having built a reputation for delivering high-profile football events, including the Sir Bobby Robson Trophy Match and Game4Grenfell, television producers Lester Holcombe and Laura Cotterill were preparing to stage their most ambitious project to date, Game4Ukraine.

The challenge was capturing the complexity, professionalism and ambition behind the event in a way that would resonate with prospective investors and support the future growth of Legends Soccer Group.

Solution

I was commissioned to produce a six-minute documentary capturing the planning, coordination and delivery of Game4Ukraine. Working behind the scenes, the film documented the pressures of organising a major international event involving government representatives, broadcasters, sporting legends, celebrities and commercial partners. The resulting documentary presented an authentic and compelling portrait of the team behind the event and the opportunity they were creating.

Result

The film helped communicate the vision, capability and growth potential of Legends Soccer Group to prospective investors and partners. By showcasing the people, processes and relationships behind the event, it provided a powerful demonstration of the organisation's ability to deliver large-scale international productions.

Impact

In February 2025, Legends Soccer Group announced the launch of Legends TV, a subscription streaming platform featuring legends football matches, original programming and exclusive content. Alongside the expansion of its live events portfolio, including Legends Ibiza, the business entered a new phase of growth, extending its reach from live experiences into digital media and entertainment.
