Who won Soccer Aid last night and the impressive amount raised for Unicef UK
The iconic Soccer Aid charity match took place last night at Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium with an impressive amount of money being raised for charity as the celebs took to the pitch
Soccer Aid 2025 delivered high drama, featuring early injuries, stand-out performances and one of the most surprising comebacks in the charity event's history. Stars from across the worlds of sports, film and television came together once again this weekend for the "world's biggest charity football match".
Created by Robbie Williams in 2006, Soccer Aid for UNICEF brings the nation together in support of children across the globe, raising more than £100 million to date to help give every child the best possible start in life.
The latest showdown at Old Trafford - the home to Manchester United - where a team of former pros and celebrities represent England against the Soccer Aid team World XI FC, was a complete sell out, with thousands of fans filling the iconic 'theatre of dreams' to watch the star-studded action.
England came out aiming for back-to-back victories after last year's triumph at Chelsea's Stamford Bridge. But it was the World XI who came out on top, clinching a 5-4 win, with the final goal being scored by rapper and TV chef Big Zuu.
Joining him in the celebrations was former Argentina and Manchester United striker Carlos Tevez, who delivered an impressive performance scoring four goals for the World XI.

Speaking to the crowds in Old Trafford and viewers at home, he said: "As an original founder of Soccer Aid, I couldn’t be more proud of UNICEF...from the volunteers, organisers and talent, to the team on the ground; everyone who buys a ticket or makes a donation. Together, over the years, we’ve raised over £121m. Here’s to many more games and even more fundraising."
Since the charity match was first founded in 2006, it has raised an impressive amount - over £106 million.
Before the match got started, host Dermot O'Leary had to "profusely" apologise to ITV viewers after Tyson Fury had a blunder live on air.
The heavyweight champion, who was the England team Manager, swore live on ITV while he was giving his team a pre-match talk in the locker rooms.
He said: "Let them know how good we are. We are England. We are f****** Spartans. We are Spartans."
Presenters Alex Scott and Dermot apologised afterwards, with Scott saying: "What can I say about Tyson Fury? We do apologise for the swearing, but it is Tyson Fury, we don’t know what’s going to happen."
This Morning presenter Dermot then said: "We do profusely apologise."
Tyson was not the only star to swear live on air with Harry Redknapp, who was the manager for World XI FC, dropping the F-bomb while addressing his own team.
As soon as the game got started, it was heartache for former boxing star Tony Bellew as he was removed from the game in just five minutes, and was seen hobbling along in a lot of pain towards the tunnel.
Tony was only one injured starred, as his pal and former I'm A Celeb co-star Sam Thompson had been unable to join the starting line-up or to get onto the pitch until the last minute, due to being injured during his Match Ball Mission, which saw him cycle from Stamford Bridge in London to Old Trafford in Manchester to deliver the all-important match ball.
The TV personality was able to get a couple minutes on the pitch, playing in the final few minutes of the charity match.
