SOCCER AID fans will have to wait to see the likes of Usain Bolt and Olly Murs take to the Old Trafford pitch for the latest edition of the charity football match.
The foundation released a statement revealing they would be postponing the annual event as coronavirus continues to plague the UK.

When is Soccer Aid 2020?
The match had originally been pencilled in for Saturday, June 6 – but no new date has been revealed yet.
The game is expected to remain at Old Trafford, having spent just two years away from the Theatre of Dreams since it started in 2006.
For those fans that had tickets to go in June, Soccer Aid have already revealed they will be able to use them for the rescheduled fixture.

Who won last year’s Soccer Aid?
Soccer Aid in 2019 went right down to the wire as penalties were needed to settle the affair.
F2 Freestylers’ Jeremy Lynch eased England into a 2-0 lead, before Usain Bolt pulled one back for Rest of the World just before half-time.
England looked to have been keeping their opponents back to see out a win, but 2017 Love Island winner Kem Cetinay levelled with seven minutes to go to send to extra time.
And it was ROW that came out on top with Cetinay firing home the winning penalty, much to the delight of coaching duo Harry Redknapp and Piers Morgan.
