KSI & Co. will entertain 90,000 fans in their biggest match to date
The Sidemen Charity Match sold out Wembley in three hours after tickets went on sale on Monday morning.
The full 90,000-seater capacity has been sold for what is being billed as "an unmissable charity football match between the biggest names in the world" hosted by YouTube group The Sidemen.
The incredibly popular charity match has become a regular fixture in the football calendar since first being held in 2015 and since being held at the likes of Southampton's St Mary's Stadium, Charlton's The Valley and, most recently, West Ham's London Stadium.
A sold-out Wembley is a significant upgrade for The Sidemen, which consists of KSI, Behzinga, Miniminter, TBJZL, Vikkstar123, W2S and Zerkaa.
Their charity football matches also include other famous content creators, such as Mr Beast, Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed.
The last charity match, in 2023, raised £2.3million for charities such as CALM and the Teenage Cancer Trust.

“The 2025 match is in aid of Bright Side and BBC Children in Need.”
