Vikkstar reveals Sidemen Charity Match could be moving overseas

by

According to Vikkstar (Vikram “Vikkstar” Singh Barn), there’s a strong chance that The Sidemen Charity Match could take place abroad. During an appearance on TopMob’s Clickbaited program, he talked about the event’s expansion, its influence on football enthusiasts, and the prospect of organizing it outside the United Kingdom.

At this year’s 2023 Sidemen charity match, I found myself scratching my head over the offside rule after a goal by Kai Cenat was called back, leaving many of us spectators in puzzlement, especially those tuning in from the United States.

Vikkstar commented, “What a fantastic goal!” He believed the opening goal of the game was an impeccable execution by Kai Cenat to score, although it was unfortunately offside. Many of his viewers, who are primarily from America, might not comprehend the offside rule, so they may have wondered, ‘Is this a genuine rule? Why wasn’t it validated?’

He emphasized that the widespread interest in the chaos of the match underscored its widespread appeal. “It reveals the impact of the Sidemen Charity Match on this sport,” he stated. “We’re organizing an event that caters to people who aren’t familiar with offside rules. And isn’t it thrilling to be able to arrange a football event that will sell out 90,000 tickets at Wembley Stadium?

Sidemen Charity match in the US?

Given that Wembley Stadium is once more fully booked, Vikkstar recognized the increasing desire for such events and subtly suggested potential new locations.

He mentioned that they could possibly transport it northwards, perhaps to Old Trafford, as a gesture for fans outside London, or even bring it abroad to various regions. While it wouldn’t be exactly the same experience, he acknowledged that there’s nothing quite like an English crowd, as many people attest. However, it still has the potential to generate significant attention, attract many viewers, and collectively contribute a substantial amount for worthy causes.

Creator vs Pro Players

Additionally, Vikkstar voiced his opinion on the discussion revolving around content creators versus professional gamers in charity events.

He clarified that events such as Soccer Aid have specific goals, and this year it seemed they aimed to attract a creator audience. They achieved this by generating numerous media articles about The Sidemen participating. However, if their intention was to let him play more on the field, they should have mirrored that in their game plan.

In a nutshell, he pointed out that combining professional athletes and content creators isn’t always successful. He explained, “From our perspective, blending professional players with creators doesn’t always result in an enjoyable end product.” He further added, “To be honest, I think the last game was quite entertaining due to the pros making it fun and engaging, but it can swing either way since these athletes are primarily focused on scoring. They may not be as concerned about generating amusing moments, but striking a balance between the two is crucial.

With the Sidemen contemplating an expansion of their main football tournament, spectators are thrilled at the prospect of learning about upcoming games. Regardless if it’s held in the UK or elsewhere, the event’s appeal keeps increasing, generating substantial donations for charitable causes.

The 2025 charity match organized by the Sidemen surpassed £4.7 million in donations, with funds going to numerous organizations such as BBC Children in Need, the Sidemen’s Bright Side initiative, and M7 Education.
