MATCH FOR HOPE has returned for a second consecutive year and fans will want to know when this year’s edition is kicking off!
The big charity clash is pitting superstar influencers KSI and iShowSpeed against each other in blockbuster teams which include an array of footballing legends such as Thierry Henry and Andres Iniesta.
More footballing icons will be returning this year
In last year’s Match for Hope, more than $8.8 million was raised last year to support over 70,000 out-of-school children as Team Chunkz beat Team AboFlah 7-5.
A standout moment of last years charity showdown was iShowSpeed taking out Kaka with a slide tackle from behind which brought out mixed reactions.
Fans will be hoping for different but more iconic moments this year and it will be intriguing to see if there will be more viewership than the outstanding 22.5 million that tuned in last year and hopefully a similar amount raised in comparison to the $8.8 million of last year.
