A star-studded line-up of ex-England internationals and World Cup winners will come together for a one-off charity football match organised by David Beckham next month.
Footballing greats including Ryan Giggs, Zinedine Zidane, Ronaldinho and Luis Figo will feature in the David Beckham Match for Children at Old Trafford, which will raise money for Unicef.
Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson will coach the Great Britain and Ireland team, with ex-Chelsea boss Carlo Ancelotti managing the Rest of the World XI.
Money raised through ticket sales and donations will help support some of the world’s most vulnerable children through the charity Unicef.
Ex-England captain Beckham, who is a Unicef ambassador, said the match is a “fantastic opportunity” to improve the lives of children across the world.
Beckham added: “It’s incredible that we’re going to be bringing so many of the world’s greatest footballers together under one roof for this match. All the players who will set foot on the Old Trafford turf know just how important this cause is, and why Unicef needs our support to help give children and young people a fair chance in life.”
“Every day children across the world are at risk of violence, poverty and disease – I believe we can change this and take action to make sure children grow up safe from these dangers.”
