The internet's biggest social media personalities are set to take the pitch at Wembley Stadium on Saturday for the 10th annual Sidemen Charity Match. This year's edition will feature a major twist, as three of the Sidemen - KSI, Miniminter, and Behzinga - have moved over to the rival YouTube All Stars team, making the competition even more intense. The match is expected to draw a sold-out crowd and raise millions for charity, building on last year's record-breaking $6.4 million haul.

Why it matters

The Sidemen Charity Match has become one of the most anticipated annual events in the world of online entertainment, showcasing the star power and charitable spirit of some of the internet's biggest influencers. The move of three Sidemen members to the opposing team adds an extra layer of drama and competition to the proceedings, which could lead to an even more thrilling and unpredictable match.

The details

The Sidemen Charity Match will take place on Saturday at Wembley Stadium in London. Sidemen FC will be managed by Jack Joseph, while the YouTube All Stars will be led by Calfreezy. Notable players on the Sidemen FC roster include Tobi, Ethan, and Josh, while the YouTube All Stars have added KSI, Miniminter, and Behzinga to their already stacked lineup. Despite the high-profile additions, iShowSpeed and Logan Paul will not be participating, as they are scheduled to compete at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas on the same day.

What they’re saying

“With this charity match, we thought we'd change it up. Normally, the Sidemen are in one team, and we're up against different players in YouTube All Stars. But this time, three of us have moved to YouTube All Stars. So, me, Simon, Ethan are now in YouTube All Stars, whereas the rest are in Sidemen. It's going to be a lot more competitive, and it's going to be intriguing to see which goals the fans celebrate more and who people want to win.”
