Sidemen Charity Match announcement made and when ticket information will be released
The Sidemen Charity Match will officially be returning for 2025.
The charity football match set up by popular YouTube group 'The Sidemen' will be returning to the pitch next year after missing 2024. The event, that was last held at the London Stadium in 2023. began in 2016 and has since raised millions of pounds for charity.
Southampton's St Mary's stadium was the home of the first match, being played in front of 15,000 fans. After also playing at The Valley, home of Charlton Athletic, they took a step further and sold out 65,000 seats at the home of West Ham. After such a popular event, fans were left confused as to why there wasn't one in 2024.

KSI had said in a YouTube Video: "I don't think there will be a Sidemen Charity Match this year. There definitely will be one next year, and it is going to be one of the biggest charity matches we have ever done. But yeah, I don't think we're doing one this year."
Now, it has been confirmed that there will be a match in 2025. The Sidemen's official X account revealed that "the Sidemen Charity Match returns... Sign up at sidemenfc.com to get the latest updates." Ticket information is set to be released on November 10th.
Having over a year to plan. it is suspected that they will play in the same stadium. Fans may have expected something bigger due to the massive growth of the event, but the Sidemen explained that it is 'likely to be the same stadium'.
TBJZL, who is a Manchester United fan, explained how Old Trafford had 'said no' as "they have their own foundation doing a Charity match in that same time period so they have no other windows for us to do it."
It has not yet been confirmed where they will play next year's edition of the famous event, but it is sure to be sold out quickly wherever it is with stars such as IShowSpeed, MrBeast and Chunkz taking to the field last time.
