Soccer Aid is back for 2020.

Soccer Aid brings celebrities and football stars to play together to raise money for the international children's charity Unicef.

But, due to coronavirus, this year's match between England and The Rest of the World on 6 June couldn't go ahead as planned.

Instead lots of those who were supposed to be involved took part in a Fifa 20 contest!

But now, the real-life match has been re-arranged for this Sunday 6 September at Manchester United's ground, Old Trafford.

Here's everything you need to know ahead of the event.

On the England team expect to see the king of PE lessons, Joe Wicks, singer Olly Murs, and Top Gear favourite Paddy McGuinness.

Sadly, football freestyler Liv Cooke has had to pull out at the last minute after getting injured.

Also look out for Youtube funny-men Yung Filly and Chunkz.

It wouldn't be Soccer Aid without some epic ex-professional footballers taking part.

The England team have some of the most experienced internationals in English history on show including former Chelsea left back Ashley Cole, former Liverpool keeper David James, tricky winger Joe Cole and former Arsenal legend, Kelly Smith.

Emilie Heskey and Michael Owen will be renewing their lethal partnership upfront and current Manchester United WFC manager Casey Stoney - who made 130 appearances for England during her career - will be in defence.

The Rest of the World team features former Chelsea legend Michael Essien, former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra, Ireland's all time top scorer Robbie Keane and Scotland's record goalscorer Julie Fleeting.
