Farah will line-up alongside Luke Wilkshire, Scott Chipperfield, David Carney, Brett Emerton and Steve Corica as amateur club Albion Park City FC take on reigning NPL champions Wollongong Wolves on January 18.

Sydney FC coach Corica was unveiled as the latest big-name to join the fray this past Wednesday on The World Game LIVE.

Former Socceroos boss Frank Farina will coach APCFC, with A-League winner Patrick Zwaanswijk also taking the pitch.

The match will help raise funds for people affected by the devastating bushfires that have swept the nation this summer.

All proceeds from the match at Ian McLennan Park in Kembla Grange will go to the Salvation Army's bushfire relief efforts.
