The Sidemen Charity Match is an annual association football friendly match run by the British YouTube group the Sidemen to raise money for various charitable causes. They have been held since 2016, barring a four-year hiatus between the third and fourth matches, all of which have been livestreamed on the group's YouTube channel. In all matches so far, the group's seven members and various affiliated YouTubers competed as the Sidemen Football Club, while various other YouTubers competed as the YouTube Allstars.

Background edit

Prior to the first Sidemen Charity Match, five members of the group (all except KSI and Vikkstar123) participated in the first EE Wembley Cup on 8 August 2015 as part of Sidemen United, a team that was established for the match. Sidemen United lost against Spencer FC 5–2. The Wembley Cup would be held annually for three more years without Sidemen United (which effectively dissolved after their only match), although Sidemen members Wroetoshaw, TBJZL and KSI would participate in the 2017 Wembley Cup as part of Tekkers Town, who lost against Hashtag United 6–1.^{[citation needed]}
