Who is playing?
There are loads of big names involved this season, with Soccer Aid legend Olly Murs representing the England team alongside footballers Jack Wilshere, Chloe Kelly, and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Roman Kemp and James Arthur are joined by Liverpool forward Diogo Jota in the Soccer Aid World XI, and the Portuguese footballer has some pedigree when it comes to FIFA!
Jota has already announced himself in FIFA 22, ranking among the top players in the world in the Ultimate Team mode 'Squad Battles'.
All the stars will be joined by streamers and professional gamers too, so the competition will be fierce this time around.

This is fantastic for the cause and gamers alike, and long may this partnership continue.
