Soccer Aid is set to make a return this year as a number of football legends and celebrities team up to raise money for UNICEF.

Each year, Team England takes on a World XI at an iconic Premier League stadium to raise millions of pounds for the charity. Since the first Soccer Aid match back in 2006, it has raised an incredible £90million to help those in need in some of the most impoverished countries in the world.

Co-creator Robbie Williams said of the 2024 match: “Soccer Aid for UNICEF is one of the biggest sources of joy in my life. It is an amazing event. When we launched this nearly two decades ago, I would never have dreamed it would raise as much money as it has.

“The main reason the match continues to be such a success is because the great British public continues to be so generous in supporting UNICEF’s work helping children around the world have happy, healthy, play-filled childhoods.
