Sidemen FC Players
The match will feature Sidemen FC versus YouTube Allstars. Player announcements are expected closer to the event, with previous charity matches featuring creators, streamers, musicians, and athletes from across the internet.
The players for each team have been drip-fed in various announcements in past years, with the likes of KSI, MrBeast, IShowSpeed, ChrisMD, and others regularly taking part.
However, this year, the Sidemen have “split up” to be spread across both teams and won’t just all be on the Sidemen FC squad.
“The teams have not been decided yet, but players will be announced over the next few weeks,” Miniminter revealed on January 12. “We’ve got people that have been confirmed, but they haven’t been publicly confirmed.”
