Huge names from the sporting and entertainment world will be taking to the field in this year’s charity match as Soccer Aid 2021 is back this evening.
Singer and Soccer Aid regular, Olly Murs, will captain the England side opposite Olympic gold medallist and fan favourite Usain Bolt.
Ex-England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson will take the helm for England once again while former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp will manage the World XI.
The 2020 edition saw the World XI win on penalties when YouTube sensation Chunkz, who features again this year, missed the deciding spot kick in sudden death.
The match itself last year saw Robbie Keane open the scoring before singer James Bay crossed the ball to England teammate Yung Filly to tap in the equaliser.
It also saw the record smashed as they raised £11m during the Soccer Aid match, the most in its history of the show and the money went towards helping children affected by coronavirus.
