The huge charity match known as Soccer AID is back, making its way back to Stamford Bridge for the first time since 2019. But making the headlines is former Chelsea star Eden Hazard who is also making a sensational return to Stamford Bridge.

For the second year in a row, Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of Chelsea at the moment, will be in charge of the World XI.All the information you require for Football Aid 2024 is provided here.

This is the first time the game will take place in SW6 since 2019.While the exact cost of each ticket is still unknown, it has been announced that a family ticket (two adults and two children) would set you back £60.

England manager Frank Lampard said: “Playing in front of a sold-out crowd at Stamford Bridge is special – for any player, on any occasion. I’m excited to be doing that again – this time with Soccer Aid for Unicef.
“Managing the Soccer Aid England team with Harry [Redknapp] will be a proud moment and great fun – but the main focus is rightly on the millions of pounds we can all raise together.
“So, please buy your tickets for June 9 and lend us your support.”
