Locations of all the stadiums that have hosted Sidemen Charity Matches |
The Sidemen Charity Match is an annual association football friendly match run by the British YouTube group the Sidemen to raise money for various charitable causes. They have been held since 2016, barring a four-year hiatus between the third and fourth matches, all of which have been livestreamed on the group's YouTube channel. In all matches so far, the group's seven members and various affiliated YouTubers competed as the Sidemen Football Club, while various other YouTubers competed as the YouTube Allstars.
Prior to the first Sidemen Charity Match, five members of the group (all except KSI and Vikkstar123) participated in the first EE Wembley Cup on 8 August 2015 as part of Sidemen United, a team that was established for the match. Sidemen United lost against Spencer FC 5–2. The Wembley Cup would be held annually for three more years without Sidemen United (which effectively dissolved after their only match), although Sidemen members Wroetoshaw, TBJZL and KSI would participate in the 2017 Wembley Cup as part of Tekkers Town, who lost against Hashtag United 6–1.[ citation needed ]

The 1966 FIFA World Cup was the eighth FIFA World Cup, a quadrennial football tournament for men's senior national teams. It was played in England from 11 to 30 July 1966. England defeated West Germany 4–2 in the final to win their first ever World Cup title. The final was level at 2–2 after 90 minutes and went to extra time, when Geoff Hurst scored two goals to complete his hat-trick, the first to be scored in a men's World Cup final. England were the fifth nation to win the event, and the third host nation to win after Uruguay in 1930 and Italy in 1934. Two time reigning champions Brazil failed to get past the group stages as they were defeated by Hungary and Portugal. It was the first time that defending champions were eliminated in the group stages after Italy in 1950. This would not occur again until 36 years later. It was opened by Queen Elizabeth II during the opening ceremony.
