Kennedy confirms he'll be lacing up his boots in aid of UNICEF.

The annual "Soccer Aid" charity football match will feature some Irish interest this year.

Singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy confirmed via Instagram he will be participating in the game.

Oh my god, this is so exciting!! Thank you @socceraid for having me join the 2020 World XI team for @unicef_uk on Sunday 6 September. It's for an amazing cause and I'm so proud to be part of it. Live and exclusive on @itv and @wearestv1 X
