Famous faces from the world of sport and celebrity will come together to raise millions of pounds for UNICEF.
Mauricio Pochettino will be back at Chelsea as he takes charge of the World XI, while Frank Lampard joins Harry Redknapp, David Seaman and Robbie Williams are in the England dugout.
Eden Hazard makes his Soccer Aid debut, having retired from professional football in October, and he will go up against a number of other ex-Chelsea players, including Joe Cole, Gary Cahill and Karen Carney.
It is now six years since England last won the match, having lost on penalties three times since then. The World XI won 4-2 last year, with Usain Bolt opening the scoring and Robbie Keane netting a brace.
With this year’s match taking place just a few days before the European Championship gets underway, England will wear a specially commissioned Euro 96 kit.
More than £90million has been raised for UNICEF through the fixture since it was first played in 2006.
