When does Soccer Aid 2025 commence? Details on live commentary, official teams, and ways to tune in as Tyson Fury and Wayne Rooney join forces.
Get ready for this year's Soccer Aid! It's the world's biggest charity match that brings together football legends, celebrities, and everyone in between. This fantastic event, brainchild of music legend Robbie Williams in 2006, aims to support children across the globe by raising millions for UNICEF annually.
Last year, England took home the victory, and they're planning on doing it again! They'll face off against a World XI team at Old Trafford. Boxing superstar Tyson Fury will help lead the England squad, which also includes Manchester United greats like Wayne Rooney, Paul Scholes, and Gary Neville.
Newcomers include ex-Lionesses Steph Houghton and Toni Duggan, along with former One Direction member Louis Tomlinson and more celebrities. The World XI team is packed with talent too, featuring Euro 2020 winner Leonardo Bonucci for the first time, joined by Nemanja Vidic, Edwin van der Sar, and Carlos Tevez.
Tune in on Sunday, June 15, at 7:30pm to catch all the action on ITV1 or online via ITVX. Prepare to witness an unforgettable evening of football, entertainment, and charity, hosted by Dermot O'Leary and Alex Scott, with a special half-time show from Dermot Kennedy.
talkSPORT will also have live coverage, with Olly Clink and Jason Cundy providing commentary. To listen, visit the talkSPORT website or download the app.
Don't miss out on the star-studded lineups for both teams! Rooney, Scholes, and Neville will return to Old Trafford to represent England, squaring off against Aaron Lennon, Jack Wilshere, Joe Hart, and Jermain Defoe from the Premier League. A host of celebrities like Mo Farah, Bear Grylls, Sam Quek, and AngryGinge will also join the England team.
For the World XI, expect to see former players like Harry Kewell, Robbie Keane, Nadia Nadim, and rugby legend Bryan Habana, alongside actors Richard Gadd and Gorka Marquez from Strictly Come Dancing.
Tyson Fury will lead the England team, with Wayne Rooney also taking up the player-manager role. The World XI's management details were less explicit in the sources, but it's known that John O'Shea is one member of the team (he serves as assistant manager with the Republic of Ireland but not as World XI manager for Soccer Aid).
