Former Brazil team-mates Gilberto Silva and Roberto Carlos will face off against one another in a charity match on Sunday.


The pair are part of the team at Striver - the world's first abuse-free social media platform - who have partnered with CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably) to raise mental health awareness.


The match will take place at Lewes FC's home - The Dripping Pan - on Sunday November 17, with kick-off at 6.30pm.


The pair will be joined by ex-pros Danny Simpson, Dennis Wise and Stilyan Petrov, as well as a host of content creators, including JaackMaate, John Nellis, Danny Aarons, Stillryan, Sara Guzo and barber to the stars, A Star Barbers.


Striver founder and CEO Tim Chase told Sky Sports: "I've now lost six friends to suicide. The most recent one was about a month to six weeks ago and I lost one eight or nine months before that.


"Fortunately - or unfortunately - I know the CEO of CALM, have raised money for them and Gilberto is an ambassador of them.


"I'm so lucky I have Gilberto and Roberto as my business partners and co-founders and they were 100 per cent in from the start.


"We can't change what's happened, but we can maybe stop one person in the crowd or help one child who has lost their dad forget about their grief for an evening.


"It's all in aid of raising money for charity and bringing some joy to the world. The world is in a bit of a messed up place and a lot of people are unhappy. We want to show the world is a better place."
