Louis captained a team that played against James Coppinger’s team. Fellow One Direction member Liam Payne was also present to show his support for his bandmate, and he took part in a playful pre-match penalty shoot-out.

Louis’ team was the first one to score a goal. Unfortunately, though, they lost 4-7 to James’ team.

Despite the loss on the football field, Louis’ charitable heart and dedication/love for his fans were once again highlighted.

Louis played for Bluebell Wood, a children hospice which he has long been known to support. To show his support, Louis wore the Bluebell Wood t-shirt right before the game.
