Soccer Aid for Unicef is back and better than ever before with the star-studded football match of super celebs and football legends, taking place at Chelsea FC's Stamford Bridge in London on Sunday 16th June on STV in partnership with Unicef UK.

Leading the line-up for the Soccer Aid World XI is Chelsea FC legend Didier Drogba, who will be returning to Stamford Bridge for the first time since 2015. Drogba will be managed by I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here winner Harry Redknapp and will be joined on the touchline by co-manager, Good Morning Britain presenter, Piers Morgan. Usain Bolt has also confirmed his return to the Soccer Aid World XI.

Managing England will be 'Big Sam' Allardyce, looking to repeat his penalty-kick inspired triumph of 2018, and Susanna Reid, the first female manager of Soccer Aid for Unicef, who will be going head-to-head with her Good Morning Britain co-host Piers.

Their team will consist of football legends and celebrities including Jamie Redknapp, Mark Wright, Ben Shephard, and Joe Wicks.

The game will be hosted by Dermot O'Leary and pitchside reporter Kirsty Gallacher and a 60-second announcement video showcase some of the nation's favourite ITV television personalities, as well as the players confirmed so far.

This year's Soccer Aid for Unicef match falls on Father's Day, meaning father-son duo Harry and Jamie Redknapp will spend this special day on opposing teams with Jamie reprising his role-playing for England and Harry returning to co-manage the Soccer Aid World XI.

To mark the occasion, and to celebrate the importance that childhood play in all of our lives, Harry and Jamie have released a #ThenandNow picture of themselves.

Jamie Redknapp said: "Even though we're on opposite teams, it's an honour to be able to play against my dad in Soccer Aid for Unicef this Father's Day."

Soccer Aid for Unicef co-founder and Unicef UK Ambassador Robbie Williams has spoken of the importance of protecting all children's right to play this Father's Day.
