FotMob, the matchday companion app trusted by over 22 million worldwide football fans, has teamed up with Soccer Aid for UNICEF 2026 as the event’s Official Live Score partner.

For its 20th anniversary, the world’s biggest charity football match will benefit from the same in-depth live coverage FotMob delivers across more than 500 professional football competitions globally.

This includes live updates of every goal, card, substitution and key moment, alongside detailed match data including possession, shots, expected goals (xG), momentum and shot maps – all powered in real-time by Opta.

A key FotMob feature is its individual player ratings – calculated using more than 300 data points and a bespoke algorithm. At Soccer Aid for UNICEF 2025, Carlos Tevez’s formidable four-goal performance earned him a 9.9 (out of 10) rating on the app – the highest ever recorded in the 20-year history of the event.

Fans will also be able to engage directly through the FotMob app to vote for the Player of the Match. The comprehensive coverage will bring them even closer to the star-studded line-ups as an England XI of celebrities and football legends take on their Soccer Aid World XI counterparts at London Stadium on May 31.

Historical data from previous Soccer Aid matches is now available within the app, highlighting standout moments from the event’s 20-year history. Notable FotMob insights include:

Goals galore: Love Island winner Kem Cetinay has scored 5 goals in 5 appearances – level with Jermain Defoe on the all-time goal scorers list, averaging a goal per game.
Yet to score: Seven-time Soccer Aid player Olly Murs has taken 13 shots without scoring – the most of any player yet to find the net.
The Stalwart: Presenter and comedian Paddy McGuinness has made 9 Soccer Aid appearances – more than any other player in Soccer Aid history..
Bad Boy Ben: TV presenter Ben Shephard is the only player ever to be sent off in Soccer Aid – as two bookable offences meant he was shown the red card at Old Trafford in 2016.
Sign Him Up: YouTube freestyler Jeremy Lynch‘s Hall of Fame credentials: 3 goals in 3 appearances, three consecutive POTM awards (2018–2020), top celebrity xGOT in 2018, and the all-time single-match duels-won record (14, in 2020).
Chelcee Tops The Charts: Singer/songwriter Chelcee Grimes is the most-decorated female celebrity in Soccer Aid history: 3 appearances, 100% pass accuracy in 2022, and top celebrity female xGOT (0.54) in 2020.
The Trailblazer: In 2024, England’s all-time leading goal scorer Ellen White became the first woman to score in a Soccer Aid match – and her 0.89 xGOT that day was higher than that of her teammate Jermain Defoe.
Tenacious Tom: In 2025, singer Tom Grennan topped the charts on the pitch twice with More Duels Won (11) – ahead of Jack Wilshere (7) – and More Tackles Won (9), well clear of Manchester United’s UEFA Champions League winner Nemanja Vidić (3).
Cap-tastic Women: England Lioness legend Jill Scott and comedian Maisie Adam will become the most-capped females in Soccer Aid this year, both making their fourth appearance.
Owen’s Honour: At 16, actor Owen Cooper is this year set to become the youngest ever player in Soccer Aid history.
