Soccer Aid was launched in 2006 by former Take That singer Robbie Williams and Jonathan Wilkes. It initially took place every two years but is now an annual event.
Females were first allowed to play in the game in 2019 and it is the only mixed-sex match officially sanctioned by The Football Association. 2020 saw the event held behind closed doors due to the coronavirus pandemic.
