Soccer Aid line-up 2025: Confirmed England XI and World XI celebrities and former players

With former heavyweight champion of the world Tyson Fury is set to join Man United great Wayne Rooney as part of England's management team, and the pair teasing a potential strike partnership, it's only fitting that the match is returning to Old Trafford for a ninth time in June.

Ex-One Direction bandmate and Red Devils fan Louis Tomlinson returns after eight years away while Joe Hart, Toni Duggan and Steph Houghton will pull the Three Lions back on to make their Soccer Aid debuts alongside another new face in Angry Ginge.

England's squad is fleshed out with a returning roster of celebs and ex-players but we know less about who will be turning out for the World XI. The initial reveal has an Italian feel to it with legendary Azzurri defender Leonardo Bonucci and AC Milan star Nadia Nadim set to make their Soccer Aid bows.

England ended a five-year wait for a victory with a 6-3 win at Stamford Bridge last year to take the overall standings to 7-6 in favour of the World XI – but who are the first names confirmed as part of the star-studded line-ups set to battle it out this time around?
