The event, also starring Cristiano Ronaldo, was meant to take place on 17 July at the O2, but has been postponed until Summer 2011.
"Both Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney have made it clear they believe it would be inappropriate for them to participate in A:3K at this time," said A:3K director Terry Byrne.
"We fully understand and respect both players decisions. We have replaced them with two other players but feel the players involved are six of the best in the world - and that is what we promised we would deliver."
"Having consulted all parties involved, everyone agreed the only decision possible was to postpone the event until next summer when we intend to deliver the same six player line up."
