Trubin gets special tribute, Benfica fans won over by gesture | OneFootball

Anatoliy Trubin continues to play a prominent role in Ukraine, not only because of his performances on the pitch. The Benfica player has maintained a close connection with the Heroes’ Tribune, a foundation created after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the start of the war, which supports the families of people linked to football who lost their lives during the conflict.

"Anatoliy Trubin’s support is measured not by a single act, but by time. He joined the ‘Heroes’ Tribune’ shortly after the foundation was launched and since then, month after month, without interruption, he has been helping the families of our Heroes. This is in addition to meetings with families, media support and help for football fans who are defending Ukraine today. This consistency became one of the foundation’s first confirmations: the football community can be trusted," the organization highlighted in a post shared on social media.

The Heroes’ Tribune also explained that behind the support of the 25-year-old goalkeeper are specific families of people connected to the football community who died during the war. "What stands out most to me is that these are the families of our defenders, football supporters, people connected to football. So, of course, there is a desire and an opportunity to help these families, to make their lives a little better" it reads.

The foundation also stressed the importance of Trubin’s trust in how the support is used. "For Anatoliy Trubin, it is important not only to have the desire to help, but also to understand exactly where that help is being directed. There is great trust in the people working here, and trust that the funds and any assistance are really going directly to the families," it added.

The message ended with a direct thank you to Benfica’s goalkeeper. "Anatoliy, thank you for your constant and meaningful support for the families of our Heroes. For your trust in the ‘Heroes’ Tribune,’ which has been strengthened by concrete actions over the years, and for your help in preserving the memory of those who gave their lives for Ukraine. Thank you for being there," it concluded. Trubin is currently on duty with the Ukrainian national team, just like his Benfica teammate Georgiy Sudakov.
