Sidemen FC hold four wins in five games over YouTube Allstars.

The Allstars’ only win came in 2017, when they were 2-0 victors over Sidemen at Charlton Athletic’s the Valley.

Sidemen won at The Valley in 2018 and 2022, as well as winning the first match 7-1 at Southampton’s St Mary’s Stadium in 2016, and an 8-5 win at West Ham’s London Stadium in 2023.

Despite ambitiously upgrading to Wembley Stadium for the event, the group had no problem selling out the match, with tickets gone in just THREE HOURS.

Every good match needs an equally good referee to help control and flow the game in a fair way.

SunSport can reveal who will be refereeing the Sidemen Charity Match 2025.

Who will referee the Sidemen Charity Match 2025?

Veteran referee Mark Clattenburg will be in charge of the Sidemen Chairty Match.

He previously took charge of the games in 2022 and 2023.

In a statement on Sidemen’s X account, Clattenburg said: “I will be back refereeing the Sidemen Charity Match again

“I saw some of your (Danny Aarons) tackles in Qatar, and I will not tolerate such tackles when you play at Wembley Stadium.

“See you there.”

Clattenburg was referencing some of the tackles Danny Aarons made during Match for Hope, also featuring KSI and IShowSpeed, in February.

Clattenburg took charge of 576 matches as a professional referee between 2000 and 2017, with 297 of those coming in the Premier League.

He also took charge of 28 Champions League matches and was a ref at the 2012 Olympics and 2016 European Championships.

Clattenburg notably took charge of the 2016 FA Cup final, Champions League final and Euro 2016 final within a matter of weeks.

He famously got tattoos commemorating the achievement.
