Scott will be up against 8 time Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt who will captain the World XI in the game, managed by Irish striker Robbie Keane.

"The Euros, the jungle and now Soccer Aid for Unicef - it's the holy trinity. I've won two of them so just need Soccer Aid to complete the treble," said Scott.

Scott retired from football right after England's Euro 2022 success having earned 161 caps for her country as well as playing for Man City, Everton, Aston Villa and Great Britain in her successful career.
