Charity football match Soccer Aid is back for another year.

TV stars, musicians and athletes will line up with football legends for the annual Unicef fundraiser at Old Trafford in Manchester.

Here's everything you need to know about Soccer Aid 2023, including the full teams.

When is Soccer Aid 2023?

This year's Soccer Aid will take place at Old Trafford, home to Manchester United, on Saturday, 11 June.

The England team, who have not won the event since 2018, will be captained by Euro 2022 and I'm a Celebrity winner Jill Scott.

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!"

Other stars in the Three Lions squad include Top Gear presenter Paddy McGuinness, DJ Joel Corry and comedian Alex Brooker.

They will play alongside retired footballers such as Paul Scholes, Gary Neville, Jermain Defoe and Karen Carney.

The World XI team boasts the likes of Olympic icon Usain Bolt, Dragons' Den star Steven Bartlett and Love Island's Kem Cetinay.

Last year's game saw the World XI triumph on penalties at London's Olympic Stadium, with comic Lee Mack scoring the decisive spot-kick after a 2-2 draw.

Soccer Aid has raised more than £75m for humanitarian charity Unicef since it was created in 2006 by Robbie Williams and Jonathan Wilkes.

How can I watch it?

The game will be shown live on ITV and ITVX, and on STV in Scotland. Coverage will be hosted by Dermot O'Leary and Lionesses legend Alex Scott.
