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 iconicPremier Leaguestadium 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.
“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.
“Once again, I am kindly asking you to buy a ticket to the game – the line-up is as star-studded as ever! Thank you for all of your continued support.”
