Soccer Aid for Unicef will be held on 9 June at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's home ground, with more players to be announced later. Tickets are currently on sale. Lampard will manage the England side, while Mauricio Pochettino, the current Chelsea manager, will lead the World XI.
The event will be broadcast on ITV1, STV, and ITVX, with Dermot O’Leary as the host alongside Alex Scott. Sam Matterface will provide commentary with Iain Stirling on co-comms. A halftime entertainment show is also planned, with the performer yet to be announced.
Dermot O’Leary expressed his excitement, stating, “We’re one big team at Soccer Aid for UNICEF, united by a goal to help protect play for children everywhere, and I’m thrilled to be part of that team once again this year. For millions of children around the world, conflicts and disasters are destroying their safe spaces to play and hunger and disease are leaving them unable to grow up healthy and strong.
“Buying a ticket for this year’s star-studded match will help give children a chance to grow up happy and healthy, and whoever you support, I know it’s going to be an absolutely fantastic night at Stamford Bridge.”
