Big names from the world of showbusiness will grace the hallowed turf of LNER Community Stadium next month.

They are taking part in a celebrity football match to raise funds for two great causes.

Confirmed so far are singer and X-Factor winner James Arthur, Dan Osborne from The Only Way Is Essex, Love Island stars Zac Ashford, Josh Brocklebank, Tom Clare and Casey O’ Gorman, and YouTubers Cal The Dragon and Man Like Haks.

Organised by Sellebrity Soccer, the game takes place on Sunday, 24 September at 3pm.

You can buy tickets here.

As well as watching the match, ticket holders will be able to take selfies with the players and grab autographs.

The match is raising funds for two great charities.

OSCAR’s Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity offers support and care for children facing brain tumours and their families, to raise awareness of children’s brain tumours and to fund new research to drive down diagnosis time, increase survival rate and improve children’s quality of life during and after treatment.

It was set up in memory of Oscar Hughes from York who died aged nine of a brain tumour.

The Bradley Lowery Foundation was established in August 2017 after six year old Bradley Lowery lost his fight to neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of childhood cancer.

It supports families who are fundraising for treatment or equipment, which is not readily available or covered by the NHS. This includes all illnesses and conditions.

The foundation also: supports research into neuroblastoma and childhood cancers. We are also developing plans to support a £600,000 holiday home in Scarborough.
