The latest edition of Match for Hope takes place this Friday, February 14 as a collection of football's legends of yesteryear and the biggest celebrity influencers go head to head for charity.

Starting in 2024, the game was watched by an audience of 34k spectators at Qatar's Ahmad bin Ali Stadium, 22.5m via live stream and raised $8.8m (£7m) for the Education Above All (EAA) foundation's initiatives in Lebanon, Nigeria, Palestine, Syria, and Pakistan.

British personality Chunkz captained a team managed by former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger to a 7-5 victory over the opposition, captained by Kuwaiti YouTuber AboFlah and managed by ex-Chelsea coach Antonio Conte.

Now the charity event returns for a second time in 2025, with key differences to the line-ups.

Former footballers in their line-up are Gunners legend Thierry Henry, Andrea Pirlo and Alessandro del Piero. The influencers joining them include more members of the British YouTube group The Sidemen, Miniminter and Behzinga.
