Wizards at UEFA’s press team somehow mix up Zorya Luhansk’s logo with Moscow Red Army
Zorya Luhansk crashed out of UEFA’s Conference League after suffering a resounding 4-1 defeat to Belgium’s Gent, but UEFA’s press service threw salt into the team’s wounds.
The professionals working UEFA’s press service, responsible for publishing all match day results, somehow mistook Zorya’s logo with that from the enemy – Moscow’s CSKA.
While the wizards at UEFA quickly deleted the post, the organization’s blunder did not go unnoticed.
This incident follows the widely criticized decision to not go to VAR in a crucial moment of Ukraine’s final UEFA EURO 2024 qualifying match vs Italy last month.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
