Soccer Aid for UNICEF brings the nation together behind a common goal: to protect play for every child. On 15 June England and the Soccer Aid World XI will once again go head-to-head, in the world’s biggest celebrity football match. Cheered on by passionate fans at Old Trafford and broadcast live and exclusively on ITV1, ITVX, STV, and STV Player, Soccer Aid for UNICEF harnesses the power of football to support children around the world to grow up safe, healthy and able to play.

Since the first game in 2006 Soccer Aid for UNICEF has raised over £106 million to support UNICEF’s work for children worldwide. In 190 countries around the world UNICEF is working with families, communities and trusted partners to help millions of children have the best possible start in life. We are so proud of this and can’t wait to make it happen for millions more.

The money raised this year could help provide life-changing support for a child, like clean water, vital vaccinations, or the opportunity to learn, so every child can get the best start in life.

This year, the match will be back in London at Old Trafford, on Sunday 15th June 2025. The game will be broadcast live and exclusively on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player.

The challenges will be complimented by an assembly plan and two curriculum-based lesson plans, helping students learn about the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the importance of children’s rights, and how UNICEF protect children’s rights globally, including the right to play. The content will be engaging, informative and inspiring, helping students to learn about why they’re taking part and the difference they’re helping to make for children around the world.

Soccer Aid for UNICEF aims to raise as much money as possible for children around the world and a large proportion of this is generated through ticket sales from the football match. Unfortunately, this means we are not in a position to offer free tickets/memorabilia to fans.
