Soccer Aid returns in 2024, as England take on the Soccer Aid World XI in their annual match raising money for UNICEF.
The match was created and first organised by singer Robbie Williams in 2006. Soccer Aid for UNICEF brings the country together and helps children worldwide.
Once a year, celebrities and players from England take on the Soccer Aid World XI FC. It's usually a sellout crowd and has traditionally been played at Old Trafford in Manchester, but the venue is different this time around.
The Sporting News provides you all the details you need to know for this year's match.
