Matt Smith for Soccer Aid 2014

Former Doctor Who actor Matt Smith, comedian Jack Whitehall and True Blood star Stephen Moyer have all signed up to take part in Soccer Aid 2014.

The new additions will play for the England team - captained by Robbie Williams - when the charity football event in aid of UNICEF returns on Sunday, June 8 at Old Trafford.

Football legends Jamie Redknapp, Jamie Carragher, Paul Ince, David Seaman and Teddy Sheringham have all signed up for the England Squad, while Edwin van der Sar and Jaap Stam will represent the Rest of the World, with more names expected to be announced soon.

UNICEF UK Ambassador Williams said: "Soccer Aid returns for the fifth time in June and I admit there are scores to settle. 

"Leading the England team, I will be making sure we defend that trophy against Rest of the World. There's never been a better time for us to show our support for UNICEF, so please dig deep and buy your tickets now!"

UNICEF UK Executive Director David Bull added: "Soccer Aid 2014 will raise vital money to help some of the world's most vulnerable children get life-saving food, medicine and clean water. 

"Every day, children are in serious danger and thousands die needlessly in the struggle against poverty, hunger and disease. It's time for us all to act. Please, buy a ticket to go to Soccer Aid or watch the match on ITV and help us change children's lives."

Dermot O'Leary and Kirsty Gallacher will return to host the match - which will be broadcast live on ITV - while Cat Deeley will present an hour-long show from the player's lounge in the lead-up to the event.

The bi-annual fundraiser was last held in 2012, and helped raise £4.9 million for UNICEF.
