One Direction star Niall Horan has encouraged fans to buy tickets for his upcoming charity football match.

The singer will host the Niall Horan Charity Football Challenge on May 26 at Leicester's King Power Stadium in aid of Irish Autism Action and Heart and Minds Challenge.

A number of famous faces and ex-footballers are due to play, such as Olly Murs, Marvin Humes, Rod Stewart and Robbie Savage.

Comedian Jack Whitehall is the latest celebrity to sign up to the cause.

However, Horan took to Twitter today (May 7) to confirm that there are still plenty of tickets still to be snapped up.

He said: "Let's go guys! There are loads of tickets left, you need to get your hands on them! For a huge cause!"

The One Direction man will manage one of the sides, whilst ex-pro Savage will take control of the opposing team.

Tickets for the event can be bought here.
