Soccer Aid, the annual charity football match, achieved a remarkable fundraising milestone by raising £16.5 million for UNICEF this year, marking its 20th anniversary. This total surpasses all previous fundraising efforts, bringing the cumulative amount raised since the event's inception in 2006 to £137 million. The announcement of the record sum was made by Robbie Williams during the match's conclusion, where he also performed his song 'Feel' at halftime. A significant contribution came from singer Olly Murs, who raised over £1 million through a personal challenge that included cycling, rowing, and running a distance of 400 km from Old Trafford to the London Stadium. The event featured appearances from stars like Tom Hanks and Tim Allen, who helped raise over £4.6 million even before the match began. The England team was led by former captain Wayne Rooney, alongside other celebrities and football legends, showcasing a blend of talent for a noble cause.
