SOCCER AID is an annual charity event to raise money for children, but winning also comes with some serious bragging rights – and one side will get their hands on the trophy again TONIGHT!
Each year, England and World XI take to the pitch to see who will be crowned that year’s winner of Soccer Aid, and 2024 will be no different.

Who has won the most Soccer Aid matches?
Soccer Aid for Unicef was started by Robbie Williams in 2006 and is the biggest celebrity charity football match in the world.
There have been 12 occasions that England and World XI have faced off since Soccer Aid began.
The match was originally played every other year, but since 2018 it has been held annually.
However, due to the global pandemic in 2020 it was held behind closed doors.
England were the first winners of the tournament in 2006, but since then have only one four more times.
Ahead of the 2024 charity match at Stamford Bridge, World XI have won seven matches.
