Soccer Aid: What Is It?

Soccer Aid is a charity football event that is held every two years to raise funds for UNICEF. It was started in 2006 by Robbie Williams and Jonathan Wilkes and has since then been a success with a huge fan base. The event brings together celebrities, football legends, and soccer stars from different countries to play football and raise funds to help children worldwide. The game is usually held at Old Trafford, Manchester, and is broadcasted live on national TV.

How Does It Work?

The event is organized into two teams: the England team and the Rest of the World team. The teams are formed by selecting celebrities and soccer stars to represent their country. The game is played over 90 minutes, and in case of a tie, there is a penalty shootout to determine the winner. The players are not paid for their participation, and all funds raised go directly to UNICEF's efforts to provide clean water, food, and education to children who need it. Over the years, the event has raised millions of pounds, which have gone a long way in supporting UNICEF's mission to help children in need around the world.
