Soccer Aid is back this summer with a celeb-packed line-up that includes a special half-time performance of Angels from Robbie Williams.

Williams, encouraging fans to buy tickets, said: "I already know that it is going to be one of the most special nights of my career."

He'll be joined on the pitch this year by One Direction's Liam Payne, who will captain the England team and go up against regular Soccer Aid player Usain Bolt, who captains the World XI FC.

It's a homecoming match for sprinter bolt, as for the first time ever this year's match will be held at the London Stadium where the 2012 Olympics was held and which saw him win Gold 10 years ago.

He said: "Hello London! I had the pleasure of competing in the London Stadium as an athlete many times including the 2012 Olympic Games. The crowd were amazing every time I competed there and created a special energy and atmosphere. I look forward to returning in June to play again for the Soccer Aid World XI FC."

Comedian Alex Brooker is a first-time player for the England team and will be the first physically disabled player to take part in Soccer Aid.

Brooker said: "I’m so excited to be a part of Soccer Aid for UNICEF. I’ve watched it for years and I’m proud that I will be the first physically disabled person to play in the match.

"When I was a baby, my parents didn’t even know if I’d end up being able to walk, so to be involved in something like this is special.

"I should add that I’m right footed and don’t have a right foot, so I’m not gonna be a game changer! But I just can’t wait to be involved."

Harry Redknapp also joins the England team as manager this year, having guided the World XI to a win in the last three matches.

This is the 11th Soccer Aid and so far each team has five wins to their name, so it will edge one side into the lead.

It will raise money for UNICEF, supporting projects around the world protecting children including providing vaccines and helping those fleeing the conflict in Ukraine.
