Hello and welcome to football.london’s Soccer Aid blog! The charity event returns to Stamford Bridge this evening following last year’s clash at Old Trafford.
Harry Redknapp and Piers Morgan led the World XI to victory over England on Chelsea’s home turf in 2019, winning 3-1 on penalties; the first fixture to include female players as part of the squads. Then, in 2020, Soccer Aid was played behind closed doors at Old Trafford due to the pandemic.
The charity football match was then hosted at the Etihad Stadium in 2021 before visiting the London Stadium 12 months later. Then, last year, Soccer Aid returned to Old Trafford, which marked a fifth successive victory for the World XI.
While Frank Lampard will be desperate to lead England to a historic victory, Eden Hazard will be just as determined to mark his homecoming with a win. So, with that being said, stay with us at football.london as we keep you up to date on everything you need to know about Soccer Aid 2024 as it happens!
