"Soccer Aid for UNICEF will play on its twentieth anniversary with the Adidas Trionda ball - the first time that the football will be used before the World Cup kicks off this summer. World XI players will also wear a bespoke Adidas kit with all proceeds going to UNICEF, adding to the 121 million raised since the event's first match in 2006."
"The 2026 edition of Soccer Aid, held at the London Stadium on 31 May, is set to feature a star-studded line-up including A-List celebrities and retired football legends. Robbie Williams, who co-founded Soccer Aid in 2006, will manage England in a game that features an exclusive taste of World Cup football."
"The World XI squad is set to be managed by Usain Bolt, eight-time Olympic gold medalist with six appearances in Soccer Aid matches, and led on the pitch by Leonardo Bonucci. The former Italian centreback will be joined by recently retired debutant Jordi Alba in World XI's backline."
Soccer Aid for UNICEF celebrates its twentieth anniversary with a charity match at London Stadium on May 31, 2026. The event brings together A-List celebrities, internet personalities, and retired football legends to play an exclusive World Cup-style match. Robbie Williams manages England while Usain Bolt manages the World XI, led by Leonardo Bonucci. The match will be the first to use the official Adidas Trionda ball before the 2026 World Cup. Players include ex-England internationals Wayne Rooney, Joe Hart, Jermain Defoe, and Jill Scott, alongside Hollywood actors and social media personalities. All proceeds from the World XI's bespoke Adidas kit sales go to UNICEF, continuing the event's legacy of raising funds since 2006.
