More than a dozen celebrities from the worlds of football, boxing entertainment, music, and social media are taking part in a special charity football match organised by Southport Football Club.
Taking place on August 3 at Haig Avenue, the fundraising game is in support of the 24 families directly affected by the tragic Southport knife attack that took place at The Hart Space on July 29, 2024.
The important event is being delivered in partnership with Southport Hesketh Round Table - which has already raised nearly thousands through their official GoFundMe campaign, working closely with the families affected from the very beginning.
Much like the popular Soccer Aid event, the match will feature a mix of celebrities and ex/professional footballers, coming together for a fantastic cause. Kick-off is scheduled for 3:00pm, with gates opening earlier to allow fans to soak up the atmosphere.
Southport FC said: “This day is about more than football. It’s about showing solidarity, remembering those affected, and raising vital funds to continue helping the families whose lives were changed forever.”
How to get tickets for Southport FC’s charity football match: Tickets are available now via the Southport FC Box Office. They cost £10 for standing and £15 for seated.
Reds legend John Aldridge will manage one of the teams, while Tony Bellew will also appear at the event. Take a look at the list below to see the stars confirmed for the important game.
