Soccer Aid is returning to Manchester this year with a fantastic line-up of famous faces. Among the celebrities taking to the pitch at Manchester United's Old Trafford on Sunday, June 11 is Tom Grennan, Alex Brooker, Steven Bartlett and Scarlette Douglas.
Hosted by Dermot O’Leary and Alex Scott, the event raises money for UNICEF to help disadvantaged children worldwide, and will see a whole host of celebs and professional players go head-to-head in a 90-minute match in front of more than 74,000 fans. Commentating on the charity football match this year is Love Island narrator and comedian Iain Stirling and ITV and TalkSport commentator Sam Matterface.
Iain isn't a stranger to Soccer Aid, having previously commentated on the event. He also played for the World XI team when the match last took place at Old Trafford in 2020. "I think after playing once, commentary is where my skill set lies," he admits to the Manchester Evening News.
