Soccer Aid 2025 Charity Match Returns Old Trafford

The 2025 edition of Soccer Aid, a charity football match created by Robbie Williams in 2006 to raise funds for UNICEF, will take place on Sunday, June 15, at Old Trafford, Manchester United's home stadium. The event features England facing off against a World XI team in a highly anticipated match that has raised over £106 million for UNICEF to support children worldwide with therapeutic food, healthcare, and safe spaces. This year’s match kicks off at 7:30 pm and will be broadcast live on ITV1 and ITVX, with Dermot O'Leary and Alex Scott returning as presenters. Notable participants include Wayne Rooney, who returns as a player-coach for England alongside Tyson Fury, and Peter Schmeichel leading the World XI, alongside other celebrities and football legends. The match follows England's win last year, their first since 2018, and aims to continue the rivalry with the World XI while raising significant funds for children's welfare globally. Tickets are still available, and the event promises a mix of familiar and new faces, with a strong focus on uniting football fans for a charitable cause.
