History of the Sidemen Charity Match
The group first took to the pitch against the YouTube Allstars in Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium in 2016.
Sidemen FC won the game 7-2.
YouTube Allstars picked up their first win against Sidemen FC in a much closer contest a year later at The Valley, home ground of Charlton Athletic.
To date, the 2017 YouTube Allstars are the only team to keep a clean sheet in any iteration of this match, and the only version of the team that have a win over Sidemen FC.
The Valley became a regular spot for the Sidemen to host these games, as they played there again in 2018 and 2022.
In 2023, the YouTube group dared to go bigger, and sold out the London Stadium in a thrilling 8-5 win over the Allstars, having won 8-7 the year prior.
In short, don’t be a goalkeeper in the Sidemen Charity Match.
