Scott was announced as England's captain for this year's Soccer Aid against World XI
The announcement of Jill Scott as England's captain for Soccer Aid sees her become the first woman to lead her country in the match since it began back in 2006.
Scott will be up against 8 time Olympic gold medallist Usain Bolt who will captain the World XI in the game, managed by Irish striker Robbie Keane.
"The Euros, the jungle and now Soccer Aid for Unicef - it's the holy trinity. I've won two of them so just need Soccer Aid to complete the treble," said Scott.
Scott retired from football right after England's Euro 2022 success having earned 161 caps for her country as well as playing for Man City, Everton, Aston Villa and Great Britain in her successful career.
