Ukrnafta becomes general partner of Tryzub hockey club
PJSC Ukrnafta has become the general partner of the hockey club Tryzub (Kyiv).
According to a joint press release of the parties, cooperation is aimed at developing hockey in Ukraine and attracting young people to this sport. At the same time, the support of Ukrnafta will allow the club not only to strengthen its position in Ukrainian hockey, but also to rise to a new level of development.
“Sport plays an important role in the life of our country, because it not only promotes a healthy lifestyle, but also fosters team spirit and resilience. By supporting youth hockey, we are investing in the future of Ukraine, because these are the young men and women who will become the leaders of our country tomorrow,” noted director of the Ukrnafta marketing department Maksym Miklashevsky.
For his part, General Manager of Tryzub Hockey Club Yevhen Zyk thanked Ukrnafta for its support and trust in the project.
“This partnership opens up new opportunities for the club and primarily contributes to the popularization of hockey in Ukraine,” he noted.
As reported, at the beginning of July 2024, Ukrnafta became a fuel partner of FC Shakhtar.
Ukrnafta is the largest oil producing company in Ukraine and is the operator of a national network of gas stations. In March 2024, the company entered into management of Glusco’s assets and in total operates 545 filling stations – 460 of its own and 85 under management.
The company is implementing a comprehensive program for resuming operations and updating the format of gas stations in its network. Since February 2023, Ukrnafta has been issuing its own fuel coupons and NAFTA Cards, sold to legal entities and individuals through Ukrnafta-Postach LLC.
The largest shareholder of Ukrnafta is NJSC Naftogaz Ukrainy with a stake of 50% plus one share. In November 2022, the headquarters of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine decided to transfer to the state a share of the corporate rights of the company that belonged to private owners, which is now managed by the Ministry of Defense.
