Merseyside XI includes several former Everton players, including Leighton Baines, Phil Jagielka, Yakubu, and Louis Saha, as well as Liverpool players Robbie Fowler, Ryan Babel, and John Aldridge. Tim Cahill will captain the side.
The team will be jointly managed by Everton legend Peter Reid and Liverpool great John Barnes. Both faced each other several times during their long careers, but this marks a special occasion, with funds raised going towards supporting people experiencing or at risk of homelessness across Merseyside and beyond.
The Rest of the World XI will feature Brazilian World Cup winners Rivaldo and Cafu, who will return to Goodison more than 30 years after their previous appearances. Other players include Clarence Seedorf, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, and Des Walker.
There will also be a halftime entertainment show headlined by Tinie Tempah, along with appearances from stars including Tony Bellew, Molly McCann, "Ted Lasso" actors Toheeb Jimoh and Moe Hashim, and former boxing world champion Johnny Nelson.
