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 his third stint as manager at Stamford Bridge, Frank Lampard has brought Bobby Brazier and Robbie Williams in place of players like Raheem Sterling and Conor Gallagher.

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.
