Sidemen, YouTube Supergroup Featuring KSI, To Play Its Third Charity Soccer Match

The Sidemen are taking the pitch to support a local club’s charity efforts. The YouTube supergroup, which features members KSI, Vikkstar123, Zerkaa, Behzinga, Miniminter, TBJZL, and Wroetoshaw (who collectively have more than 50 million YouTube subscribers between them), has announced its third charity soccer match (or charity football match, as the Brits call it) against a team of YouTubers.

The match will take place on June 2 at the home grounds of Charlton Athletic, a professional side based in London. In their rematch against the YouTuber All Stars, the Sidemen will be looking for a measure of revenge. In their first charity match, in 2016, the Sidemen beat their YouTuber counterparts 7-2, but a year later, they were defeated 2-0.

In order to achieve a favorable result, Sidemen have been practicing. In their case, that means doing more of the same stunts and challenges they’re known for.

Tickets for the second match will go on sale at 6 PM GMT on March 31 on the Sidemen website. Proceeds from the sales will go to the Charlton Athletic Community Trust and Young Minds. The first match, back in 2016, raised more than $100,000.

Charlton Athletic’s home ground seats more than 27,000 spectators, but if you want to attend the Sidemen match, you’d be wise to purchase your tickets quickly. After all, KSI has been known to sell out arenas all on his own.
