England take on the World XI in the 2025 edition of Soccer Aid, with celebrities and former footballers joining forces to raise money for charity Unicef UK.

The World XI has the likes of Leonardo Bonucci, Carlos Tevez and Nemanja Vidic, plus Tony Bellew, Noah Beck and Bryan Habana, all combining to help add to more than £100m raised since its inception in 2006.

It promises to be an evening packed with some entertaining football and plenty of laughs, with England able to pull level in the 14th iteration of the event, with the World XI leading 7-6 so far.

Tyson Fury on managing England at Soccer Aid 2025

Fury said: “England manager! Who would ever have thought it!?

"I have had some big fights in my career and the prospect of leading my England team to victory this June fills me with just as much excitement as any heavyweight fight!

"Everyone knows that I am a huge Manchester United fan too, so it’s even more special for me that the game is at Old Trafford this year – and I get to manage one of my heroes, Wayne Rooney!

"How can we lose!? The work UNICEF does all around the world is so special and so important.

"I really hope that you can come along and support us this summer.”

England snap five-year losing streak to claim Soccer Aid 2024

England triumphed 6-3 over the World XI last year at Stamford Bridge with Lionesses legend Ellen White and Steven Bartlett’s double proving decisive.

Chelsea legend Eden Hazard starred for the World XI and scored on his return to the Bridge.

But the management trio Frank Lampard, Harry Redknapp and Robbie Williams inspired a first win in six years with the overall score 7-6 now to the World XI since the event’s inception in 2006.
