SOCCERAID REVEALS 2021 TEAMS AND DATE

Soccer Aid for UNICEF is the world's biggest celebrity football match, raising money to give kids the best start in life. This year's showdown takes place on Saturday 4 September – under the lights of our new host venue for 2021, Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium and live on ITV and STV.

Fan favourites Olly Murs, Usain Bolt, Chunkz and Jamie Redknapp are all back to play, joined by a host of new faces including Tom Grennan, James Arthur and Fara Wiliams. England legend Wayne Rooney will be stepping away from his 2020 management role and pulling on his boots to play for the Three Lions.

In a new signing for 2021, Alex Scott will be our Pitch-side Reporter, alongside Soccer Aid’s long-term supporter, Dermot O’Leary as Presenter and Maya Jama will once again be adding her thoughts as a pundit.

Socceraid takes place Saturday 4 September.
