Here are the streamers and content creators set to appear in the upcoming Sidemen Charity Match on March 8, 2025.

The UK’s biggest YouTube group, Sidemen, is set to host its sixth Charity Match event. For those unaware, the group has been hosting a charity football (soccer) event since 2016. The last match was held in 2023, meaning the next event returns after almost a year and a half.
Like every edition, this year’s Charity Match will feature some major names from the streaming and content creation industry. At the last event, we saw the likes of Darren “IShowSpeed” (YouTuber) and Jimmy “MrBeast” (YouTuber) take to the field. This year should be no different, with some new faces being added to the match.
Each team typically comes with a squad of 18 players. This year, there will be some debutants (as well as the expected returnees). Firstly, the home team, i.e., SDMN FC, will feature the seven members:
1) JJ “KSI”
2) Harry “Wroet2Shaw”
3) Simon “Miniminter”
4) Vikram “Vikkstar123”
5) Tobi “TBJZL”
6) Ethan “Behzinga”
7) Josh “Zerkaa”
Here are the other names that have been officially confirmed by the Sidemen social media team. While they will feature in the match, it’s unclear which side (between SDMN FC and YouTube All-Stars XI) they will play for:
1) George Clarkey (YouTuber)
2) Rani “StableRonaldo” (Twitch Streamer)
3) Roberto “Fanum” (Twitch Streamer)
4) Kai Cenat (Twitch Streamer)
5) Darren “IShowSpeed” (YouTube Streamer)
6) Callum “Calfreezy” (YouTuber)
7) Lannan “LazarBeam” (YouTuber)

Will IShowSpeed Play in the Sidemen Charity Match 2025?
The most prominent name in the event is undoubtedly IShowSpeed. While the official Sidemen X page has yet to confirm it, his participation is practically guaranteed. For context, KSI personally invited him during the recently concluded Match For Hope 2025 event.
After full-time (Team KSI defeated Team Speed 6-5), a rather dejected Speed received an invitation from KSI to join the upcoming charity match event. While the streamer was initially hesitant, he agreed on one condition – KSI had to sing his viral song, Thick of It, in exchange for his participation.
While Speed cut KSI off midway through the chorus, he walked away before saying, “See you next month.” He was, of course, referring to the charity event set to take place on March 8, 2025, at Wembley Stadium in London.

Speed’s invitation wasn’t the only amusing one during the game. Kai Cenat, who has been officially announced for the event, also received an invitation from KSI but with a twist. He was challenged to complete 10 consecutive keepy-uppies (ball juggles) as part of the deal.
Kai Cenat isn’t exactly the most skilled when it comes to football (soccer). Determined to complete the challenge, he watched a couple of tutorials and streamed his attempt at juggling the ball 10 times. After nearly two hours of trying, he finally managed to pull it off, meaning he confirmed his place in the event.
