4. What does Soccer Aid 2019 raise money for?

   All money raised will go towards Unicef’s work protecting children in danger around the world.

   This year’s match also falls on Father’s Day, meaning father-son duo Harry and Jamie Redknapp will spend the day on opposing teams.

   To mark the day, and to celebrate the importance of childhood play, Harry and Jamie have released a #ThenandNow picture of themselves.

   

   Robbie Williams said: “The ability to play is one of the most important things in any child’s life. It’s how they make friends, how they learn who they are and about the world around them, it’s so vital.

   "I’ve seen first-hand the important work Unicef does around the world helping to make sure every child can have a happy, healthy and safe childhood, to be able to play like all children should.

   "I dread to think what my children would be like without play, they’re so bright and happy and its absolutely everything to them. I hope everyone gets involved this summer with Soccer Aid for Unicef, we can all play our part to help kids around the world just be kids.”
