Money raised through profits from ticket sales and donations made on matchday will go to UNICEF’s work providing lifesaving care including protection, health and nutrition for some of the world’s most vulnerable children. 

Over the past decade Beckham has helped UNICEF, a club partner of United's for the last 16 years, promote and protect the rights of children. He has raised global awareness of the dangers children are facing around the world including malnutrition, Ebola, HIV/AIDS, violence and the devastating effects of natural disasters. He has travelled to see UNICEF’s work, meeting children and their families in Sierra Leone, South Africa, Thailand, the Philippines and Cambodia. In September 2015, David joined United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and UNICEF executive director Anthony Lake to unveil a digital installation that brought the voices of children and young people to the heart of the United Nations General Assembly.

The 'Match for Children' will kick off at 15:00 GMT on 14 November. Tickets are now sold out, but hospitality packages are still available to purchase online.
