SOCCER AID 2024 has reached its conclusion - and we have new champions!
Each year, England and World XI take to the pitch to see who will be crowned that year's winner of Soccer Aid.
Who has won the most Soccer Aid matches?
Soccer Aid for Unicef was started by Robbie Williams in 2006 and is the biggest celebrity charity football match in the world.
As of 2024, there have been 13 occasions that England and World XI have faced off since Soccer Aid began.
The match was originally played every other year, but since 2018 it has been held annually.

However, due to the global pandemic in 2020 it was held behind closed doors.
England were the first winners of the tournament in 2006, but since then have only one five more times.
And after the 2024 charity match at Stamford Bridge, World XI have won seven matches to England's six.
What are the previous results?
The England team had their work cut out in 2024 against Eden Hazard, Usain Bolt and Alessandro Del Piero - but triumphed with an impressive 6-3 win.
Former Chelsea star Joe Cole started the rout in the sixth minute, before Ellen White tapped in the second.
In the second half Steven Bartlett scored twice, with Jermain Defoe and Theo Walcott also getting on the score sheet.

Kick-off was at 7.30pm.
The match took place in London at Chelsea's home, Stamford Bridge - the first time it has been held in SW6 since 2019.
England wore a special kit that replicated the Three Lions' outfit from Euro 96.
And the kit certainly proved to be lucky as they slammed six goals past the World XI keepers of Petr Cech and Tony Bellew.
