Soccer Aid is back in full swing for 2025, uniting celebrities on Old Trafford's illustrious turf to raise vital funds for Unicef as England faces off against the World XI team.
Following an intense run-up – with I'm A Celebrity champ Sam Thompson withdrawing due to a last-second injury – the match unfolds on Sunday, June 15 with ITV broadcasting live.
‌
Coverage kicked off at 6pm, with presenters Dermot O'Leary and Alex Scott, as they prepared viewers for a 7.30pm kick-off. The four-hour spectacle dominating prime-time Sunday evening offers fans an extended football feast until 10pm.
‌
Just moments after coverage commenced, fans took to social media to commend the event and shine a spotlight on one player in particular, reports the Manchester Evening News.
One fan posted: "Superb the way these celebrities give their time up for free to play at Old Trafford #SoccerAid."

‌
The 2025 event boasts a star-studded line-up, including former footballer and manager Wayne Rooney, boxing champion Tyson Fury, ex-football manager Harry Redknapp, and Line of Duty actress Vicky McClure as coaches for England. The team also includes Dragons' Den's Steven Bartlett, musician Tom Grennan, and former footballer Gary Neville.
The World XI is managed by ex-goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel and features former boxer Tony Bellew, Strictly's Gorka Marquez, and ex-footballer Harry Kewell on the field.

The challenge involved him transporting the match ball on foot and bike from the previous year's venue, Stamford Bridge in London, to this year's location, Old Trafford in Manchester, covering a whopping distance of 261 miles.
