Soccer Aid 2023 takes place later this year, with a return to Old Trafford following five years away from the home of Manchester United.
Euro 2022 winner Jill Scott will captain an England side who will take on a World XI captained by legendary sprinter and the fastest man of all time, Usain Bolt. As ever, the match will be played in aid of UNICEF, with the event having raised £75million for the charity since its inception in 2006.
Last year's match raised a remarkable £15 million for the charity, which is run by the UN to aid children across the globe. That event was held at the London Stadium, with the World XI winning on penalties after the match was drawn 2-2.

Scott, 36, retired from football last year after winning the European Championships with England and becomes the first woman to lead a team at the match.
Scott said: “The Euros, The Jungle and now Soccer Aid for UNICEF – it’s the holy trinity! I’ve won two of them, so just need Soccer Aid now to complete ‘The Treble’! I think of all three, this might be the one I’m most nervous about, though – just look at the names involved! Buy a ticket, support this amazing cause and cheer us on!”
