Big names from the world of sports and entertainment will be on the pitch at this year’s charity game when Soccer Aid 2021 returns this weekend.

Singer and Soccer Aid regular Olly Murs will be England’s squad captain against Olympic gold medalist and fan favorite Usain Bolt.

Bolt has often been associated with professional soccer due to his speed and even played for the Central Coast Mariners in 2018.

Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson will take over England, while former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp will lead World XI.

The 2020 edition saw World XI win on penalties when YouTube sensation Chunkz, who reappears this year, missed the decisive kick in sudden death.

Last year’s game saw Robbie Keane open the scoring before singer James Bay passed the ball to his England teammate Yung Filly to score the tie.

He also saw the record being broken when they raised £ 11 million in the Soccer Aid match, the most in the show’s history, and the money was spent to help children affected by the coronavirus.
