Tyson Fury? Soccer Aid Manager? You Kidding Me?!
Okay, so this is actually happening. Boxing heavyweight champion Tyson Fury is trading his gloves for a clipboard, co-managing the England team at Soccer Aid 2025 alongside the legendary Wayne Rooney. Seriously. Who saw that coming? It's happening at Old Trafford, Manchester United's home ground, on June 15th, and it's already shaping up to be epic.
A Team That'll Knock Your Socks Off
The England squad? It's stacked! We're talking Louis Tomlinson from One Direction making a return (yes, really!), Gary Neville, Paddy McGuinness – the usual suspects, but also some exciting new faces. Former England goalie Joe Hart's joining the fun, and popular streamer Angry Ginge is making his Soccer Aid debut. It’s a wild mix of talent!
And the World XI? They’ve got Leonardo Bonucci leading the charge! Honestly, the lineup alone is worth the price of admission. Plus, Harry Redknapp and Vicky McClure are on the coaching staff, which just adds another layer of crazy awesome.
More Than Just a Kickabout
Let's be clear: Soccer Aid isn't just some silly celebrity match. It's a huge fundraising event for UNICEF. Since 2006, it’s raised over £106 million for children around the world – and this year's looking to smash that record. Fury himself has been talking about how important it is to support UNICEF’s work, which is pretty amazing to hear.
