Sidemen Charity Match 2025: Meet the Sidemen FC vs. YouTube Allstars Stars

The wait is finally over—today, March 8, 2025, is the day football fans and Sidemen supporters have been eagerly anticipating! The Sidemen Charity Match 2025 is here, and it's going to be the wildest crossover football event yet. Picture this: 90,000 screaming fans packing London’s iconic Wembley Stadium, a sold-out crowd setting a new record for the Sidemen crew. It’s bigger, louder, and more star-packed than ever, with KSI leading his Sidemen FC squad into battle against a YouTube Allstars team captained by the one and only IShowSpeed. Buckle up, because we’re diving into the full scoop on who’s playing in this epic showdown!

Sidemen FC: KSI’s Dream Team

Let’s start with the home squad, Sidemen FC. KSI, the YouTube legend and boxer-turned-rapper, is the heart of this team, joined by his six Sidemen brothers: Miniminter (Simon), W2S (Harry), Behzinga (Ethan), TBJZL (Tobi), Vikkstar123 (Vik), and Zerkaa (Josh). These guys have been ruling YouTube since 2013, racking up over 22 million subscribers with their gaming, pranks, and wild challenges. On the pitch, they’ve got a killer record—winning four out of five past charity matches—and they’re hungry to keep the streak alive.

But it’s not just the core seven. Sidemen FC is stacked with extra firepower this year. Logan Paul, KSI’s old boxing rival and Prime drink co-founder, is lacing up his boots for the squad—talk about burying the hatchet! You’ve also got xQc, the Twitch streaming king, bringing his chaotic energy, and Joe Weller, a YouTube OG known for his football skills. Mark Rober, the science guy with a knack for crazy inventions, adds a quirky twist, while George Clarkey and Randolph round out a lineup that’s equal parts talent and fun. Managed by Calfreezy, this team’s ready to run the show.

YouTube Allstars: IShowSpeed’s Squad of Chaos

Over on the other side is IShowSpeed captain of the YouTube Allstars, and they're a whirlwind of names. Speed, the hard-living streamer who's presently taking over the internet, is calling the shots, and he's got a squad that can take all the headlines. MrBeast, the man who gives away millions, is warming up – imagine him taking a pass as he gives out dosh! Kai Cenat, another streaming phenomenon, is among the party crowd, accompanied by Niko Omilana, the prankster with a golden boot on the field.

The Allstars have not yet had their fill. Chunkz, a Sidemen regular turned foe for the day, is delivering his silky play, and ChrisMD, a football YouTuber, is set to impress with his steps. Theo Baker, an old hand at charity matches, is back, and Max Fosh, the unconventional creator, injects some personality. AngryGinge13, Fanum, and Sketch—three fan favorites in their own right—teammate together to make this team a mad mix of surprise and excitement. With TheBurntChip at the managerial reins, the Allstars are out to flip Sidemen FC's record of dominance on its head.

Why This Match Matters

This is more than pride and goals on the line—it's for charity. The Sidemen Charity Match 2025 is raising money for BBC Children in Need and the Sidemen's own Bright Side charity, which helps people find a home and gives young people a chance at education and opportunities. Past games have drawn millions, like the £2.4 million in 2023, and with Wembley's massive crowd on top of a free stream on the Sidemen YouTube channel (beginning at 2:10 PM GMT), this year could shatter the records again.

What to Expect

Kickoffs are at 3:00 PM GMT (that's 7:00 AM PST for us West Coasters), and the vibe is already electric. Hosts Munya Chawawa and Elz The Witch will keep things lively, and Spencer Owen and Stephen Tries do commentary—expect laughter and legendary play-by-plays. Even a halftime show this year, though the name is still a mystery (fingers crossed for a Kendrick Lamar-level surprise!). Sidemen FC is currently on top with their 4-1 record, but the Allstars' celebrity strength could change that.

So, who's your bet to win? Is KSI and crew going to retain their throne, or are Speed's team going to deliver a shock upset? Get the snacks ready, settle in, and get prepared for a football party that's as entertaining as it is worthwhile. The Sidemen Charity Match 2025 has arrived, and it's going to be epic!
