Soccer Aid 2022 will take place at West Ham United's London Stadium, marking the first time that the match has been to east London and the 10th anniversary of the London Olympic Games.

The stadium – which was converted into a football ground following London 2012 – is having a busy off-season. West Ham's home is set to host the National League Promotion Final, taking place at on Sunday 5, a week before Soccer Aid, while Californian rockers, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, are set to play a concert there later on this summer. 

There's added sentiment in this one too for one of the players. The game will act as a kind of testimonial for retiring Irons captain Mark Noble, who will get to play at the stadium one last time. 

The match was hosted at the Etihad last year but has also been played at Wembley, Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge.
