North England vs South England: Date, players, ticket information and more

North England FC will take on their South England counterparts in a match between former Premier League players this summer.

Robbie Fowler will be a player-manager for the North, while former Tottenham and West Ham boss Harry Redknapp will be in the dugout for the South.

Organisers have said the North team will bring together “local heroes and international stars who share northern roots or have become adopted icons at northern clubs”, with the South side containing a similar mix of “homegrown talent and global stars”.

The game is scheduled for a 4pm GMT kick-off time on Sunday June 1, 2025.

The Valley, Charlton Athletic’s stadium, will host.

A broadcaster for the match has not yet been announced.

It has been confirmed that each squad will consist of 16 players “from the top-flight’s recent past”.

The players involved will be announced in the coming weeks.

Fowler will be both a player and a manager on the day, with the former Liverpool striker relishing the chance to return to the pitch.

“There is obviously an element of fun to the game but I guarantee this will be competitive and serious because it will be great to beat them,” Fowler said.

“This has been an idea in the making for a number of years. It’s a great concept that I hope everyone gets behind. The battle between North and South will always be there, the rivalry will always be there and there can only be one winner, hopefully it will be us.”
