(Reuters) - Germany will play three friendly matches in June with their 1,000th international match set to be a charity game against Ukraine, the country's football association (DFB) said on Monday.
With Germany hosting the European Championship next year, the hosts are not involved in the qualifying campaign and will be playing friendly matches instead in the buildup to the tournament.
"The 1,000th international match for the Germany senior men's national team is a very special event. We want to use it to send a clear signal for peace and international understanding and against war and destruction," DFB president Bernd Neuendorf said. The DFB said its foundation and partners provided more than 10 million euros for social projects in Ukraine last year after Russia's invasion, which Moscow calls a"special operation".
