Match for Hope is back and bigger than ever as football icons, content creators and big name celebrities come together to raise millions for charity.

The second annual event, which returns to Doha in Qatar this Friday, is in support of Education Above All (EAA) which aids out-of-school children. Last year's inaugural match raised £8.8 million, benefitting 70,000 young people.

Over 35,000 spectators filled out the Ahmad bin Ali Stadium around this time in 2024 as Team Chunkz beat Team AboFlah by 7-5. All while an additional 22.5 million TV and online viewers watched on and donated.

Much like the first Match for Hope, the 2025 iteration boasts two star-studded lineups.

These include legends of the sport such as Andreas Iniesta and Andrea Pirlo, as well social media sensations like Angry Ginge.

Both teams have their respective captains who too are well known across the world.

The first is renowned Arsenal fan and YouTube star KSI, and the other is WWE's newest recruit and streamer iShowSpeed.
