Lacing up their boots again this year are team favourites Usain Bolt, Sir Mo Farah Roman Kemp, Martin Compston and Steven Bartlett joining footballing legends Jermain Defoe, Jill Scott, David James, Gary Cahill, Joe Cole and Karen Carney. New signings for this summer included cricketer Stuart Broad, King of the Jungle Sam Thompson, Strictly Come Dancing star Bobby Brazier and footballing legend – and former Chelsea icon – Eden Hazard.
Frank Lampard joined Harry Redknapp and Robbie Williams as England manager, alongside David Seaman, back in his management role. Facing them down was Mauricio Pochettino, returning as manager for Soccer Aid World XI.
This years’ event raised a huge £15,049,590. This is an incredible result which will help to keep children around the world happy, healthy and able to play. It also brings the total we have raised since Soccer Aid began in 2006 to more than £106 million.
