Overview

Check out who is in this years line ups for Soccer Aid 2020

This weekend, two teams of former pros and celebrities take to the field to raise money for charity. As usual, the two teams competing in Soccer Aid 2020 are England vs the Soccer Aid World XI.

This year the UK government and Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance are both matching public donations, meaning that every £1 donated becomes £3.
