One Direction stars Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson will join forces with Claudio Ranieri and Jose Mourinho in Soccer Aid 2016.
Tomlinson will play for an England team coached by former Chelsea supremo Mourinho, while Horan will be part of the Rest of the World coaching staff under Premier League-winning boss Ranieri.
The match will take place at Manchester United's Old Trafford stadium on Sunday, June 5.
Horan said: "It's an absolute honour to be asked to be involved with such a fantastic charity and this game has become a major event on the calendar for the last 10 years.
"I'm absolutely delighted to be a part of the Rest of the World team and Mr Ranieri's management team.
"We have a great team this year and I'm sure the boys are looking forward to the challenge. It's going to be a great week."
Mourinho will manage the England team alongside Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce and pop star Robbie Williams, who is a UNICEF UK ambassador.
The event, which takes place every two years, will be hosted by Sky Sports News HQ's Kirsty Gallacher and X Factor presenter Dermot O'Leary.
