Soccer Aid 2025 returns to Old Trafford on June 15, promising another fun-filled night of football with a purpose. The star-studded charity match pits an England XI against a World XI, blending the worlds of sport and entertainment.
This year’s event features familiar faces from the pitch, screen, and beyond, including retired football legends, actors, musicians, YouTubers, and more. Adding some ringside flair, two-time world heavyweight champion Tyson Fury joins the England coaching staff, bringing extra spice to an already electric fixture.
Since its inception in 2006 by Robbie Williams, Soccer Aid has grown into a major philanthropic event in partnership with UNICEF, using football as a global force for good. Its mission is simple yet powerful: to raise funds that support safe, healthy play for children worldwide. With nearly £100 million raised over the past two decades, Soccer Aid helps deliver life-saving aid, healthcare, nutrition, and crisis support to some of the world’s most vulnerable communities.
