FotMob, the matchday companion app used 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 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 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 31st. Historical data from previous Soccer Aid matches is now available within the app, highlighting standout moments from the event’s 20-year history.

England’s forward line will be led by Wayne Rooney, Theo Walcott and Soccer Aid’s all-time leading goal scorer, Jermain Defoe, against a World XI defensive unit featuring multiple trophy-winners Leonardo Bonucci, Jordi Alba and Edwin van der Sar.

Matias Høibraaten, Head of Growth at FotMob, commented: “FotMob is thrilled to be partnering with the biggest charity football match in the world. 22 million fans around the world trust our app as their companion every match day, we are excited to bring the same real-time coverage we do for elite competitions to Soccer Aid for UNICEF 2026. Built exclusively for football, FotMob will bring a new level of data and insights to enhance this unique event for fans and players alike.”

Tom Peacock, Head of Partnership Generation, Soccer Aid Productions, added: “We are excited to team-up with FotMob to provide an unprecedented menu of data and interactivity to Soccer Aid for UNICEF. Fans will be able to access all of FotMob’s real-time insights tracking the legends and celebrities they’re watching on the pitch. Collaborating with the leading live-score app will drive audience engagement with the match like never before.”
