Athletics great Mo Farah will be among the celebrities taking part in Saturday's #Game4Grenfell.
The four-time Olympic gold medal winner will take to the pitch at QPR's Loftus Road stadium this weekend in a match which will raise money for those affected by the devastating Grenfell Tower fire.
Having won a gold and silver at the recent World Championships in London, Farah ran his final race on the track last week, ahead of his planned switch to road running.
But first he will join some renowned ex-footballers and figures from the worlds of music, film and sport in Saturday's game, live on Sky 1 from 2pm, which will be attended by over 2,000 people directly affected by the Grenfell tragedy.
Farah said: "Like everyone else, I was shocked and incredibly upset by what happened at Grenfell Tower.
"I grew up in west London and have friends and family who live in the area, so to see a tragedy like that take place was just heartbreaking.
"But the way that people in the community have come together since then is amazing, and something I find incredibly inspiring.
"That's why I'm excited to be taking part in the #Game4Grenfell. It will help raise money for survivors and those affected by the fire, but it will also show the community how much we care.
"My football skills are pretty rusty but I can't wait to get my boots on and see what I can do!"
If Farah needs some tips, footballing greats Les Ferdinand, Alan Shearer, David Seaman, Trevor Sinclair and Paul Merson will be on hand, along with current pro Peter Crouch.
And from the world of showbiz, the likes of Olly Murs, Iain Glen, Damian Lewis, DJ Spoony, Tinie Tempah, Jarvis Cocker and Jamie Dornan will all be in action.
