The stars are out for charity game

We're in a bit of a barren period football-wise, unless your club is involved in the FIFA Club World Cup.

The regular season has ended and the only international tournament this summer, the Women's Euros, isn't due to start until early July.

Thankfully, slipping into the schedule to sate our appetite for the beautiful game is Soccer Aid for UNICEF 2025 (Sunday, ITV1, 6pm).

Okay, so it's just a bit of fun rather than a hotly contested match, it's never less than entertaining as a mix of celebrities and former players take to the pitch to raise money for UNICEF.

It's almost 20 years since one of the charity’s ambassadors, Robbie Williams, came up with the format which, like many of the best ideas, is simple.
