A long-standing debate in English soccer will re-emerge with a North versus South match scheduled at Charlton Athletic's The Valley stadium. The event aims to settle regional bragging rights and trace back to the roots of English football rivalry.

Harry Redknapp, former manager of West Ham United, Portsmouth, and Tottenham Hotspur, will lead the South. Meanwhile, Robbie Fowler, a former Liverpool forward, will take charge of the North. Each team will feature 16 players who have made a mark in English soccer's recent history.

The players' identities remain to be confirmed, but they will either hail from the respective regions or have become adopted icons at their English clubs. The match, held on June 1, seeks not just to entertain but to benefit charitable causes.
