Former Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech has stressed the power of sport as a platform for generating support for those in need.
The Champions League winner is in Belfast to play in a charity ice hockey game in support of continuing the sport in war-torn Ukraine.
Cech, 40, will guest for Belfast Giants against Ukrainian side Dnipro Kherson on Wednesday night.
"Sport is a beautiful tool to raise money and help in many ways," he said.
Cech, who is currently playing ice hockey for Chelmsford Chieftains, explained how he has a team-mate affected by the conflict in Ukraine.
