Robbie Williams to perform at Soccer Aid's halftime show

Robbie Williams is set to perform at the Soccer Aid halftime show.

Soccer Aid returns this Sunday to help raise money for UNICEF which helps the world's most disadvantaged children. Held at the London Stadium, the televised event invites celebrities and former professionals go head to head in the world's biggest charity football match.

Amongst those taking part in this year's game is co-founder Robbie Williams who is set to take centre stage for the halftime show, performing his smash hit Angels. Thrilled to be a part of the show more so than normal, Robbie urged fans to act quickly if they want a front-row seat.

He said: "I already know that it is going to be one of the most special nights of my career – and I want as many of you as possible to be part of it.

"Tickets are selling fast, so I would urge people to snap them up while they are still available. In so doing, people will be supporting Soccer Aid for UNICEF, which has raised £60m since we started it 16 years ago."

This year's show will also feature the likes of One Direction star Liam Payne as captain for the England team and Olympian Usain Bolt leading the World XI FC team. Excited to return to the pitch, Usain said: "The crowd were amazing every time I competed there and created a special energy and atmosphere. I look forward to returning in June to play again for the Soccer Aid World XI FC."
