It's not long to go now before the 2025 edition of Soccer Aid charity match.
Soccer Aid, created in 2006 international superstar Robbie Williams, is back for its latest iteration at Old Trafford, which has quickly and consistently become a staple and household name.
Soccer Aid has raised more than £106million pounds for UNICEF with £15million raised during last year's broadcast alone.
The aim of Soccer Aid is to 'protect play for every child' with UNICEF delivering vital programmes which provide therapeutic food, healthcare, safe spaces and crisis support around the world.
Every year the England squad face off against a World XI in a one-off game watched by millions, with former players and celebrities displaying their skills in front of the millions of viewers.
The World XI will be out for revenge, as England broke their dominant streak last year, winning their first since 2018, in a thrilling match that ended 6-3. Ellen White stole the headlines as she became the first female to score at Soccer Aid.
