All gate receipts from the League Two match between Forest Green and Colchester United will be donated to humanitarian aid efforts in Ukraine.
All tickets to the game will cost 10 dollars.
The English Football League is being asked to approve a special yellow and blue kit for the Ukranian national team.
The club hoped the initiative would raise funds to help evacuate Ukrainian civilians.
More than 1.7 million people have left the eastern European country in the wake of the invasion by Russia, according to the United Nations.
"The generations in my family that came before me, including my parents, grandparents and great-grandparents, fought for the freedom and the peace that I have been fortunate enough to enjoy during my lifetime," said U's owner and chairman Robbie Cowling.
Some people who have not been so fortunate may have come to Colchester to escape regimes where such privileges could not be taken for granted.
All I have been able to do so far is watch the news and wonder what can be done to help the refugees who have been forced out of their homes and their normal lives.
The match between Forest Green and the U's will be shown live on television, as Forest Green have an eight-point cushion at the top of the table.
The U's will make up the difference for any tickets already purchased, such as season tickets, and will ask complimentary ticket holders to pay a fee.
Cowling said he would pay for it if the club was obliged to give a complimentary ticket.
The club said it would auction off the shirts if they were allowed to wear the one-off kit.
