The Sidemen Charity Match is set to return this Saturday, featuring the British internet sensation group and their friends going head-to-head with the YouTube Allstars.
After hosting successful charity football matches at venues such as Southampton’s St. Mary’s Stadium, Charlton Athletic’s The Valley, and West Ham United’s London Stadium from 2016 to 2023, the aim this time around is to make the event even more spectacular.

Collectively, their group of YouTube channels boast an impressive 36.8 million subscribers, with millions more following them individually. Adding to this, their guest participants have also brought their own fan bases along for the ride.
From the UK, fans are eagerly anticipating appearances from Joe Weller, Chris ‘MD’ Dixon, Chunkz (Amin Mohamed), Deji, Niko Omilana, Theo Baker, Danny Aarons and Angryginge, reports football.london.
Adding an international flavour, Kai Cenat, Fanum (Roberto Escanio Pena), LazarBeam (Lannan Eacott), xQc (Felix Lengyel) and many others, including IShowSpeed (Darren Watkins Jr.), are set to generate additional excitement.
