What is the Sidemen Charity Match 2023?
The Sidemen Charity Match 2023 is a soccer match taking place on Saturday 9 September at London Stadium, in the UK. It is the sixth event of its kind and was first held in 2016.
Last year the match saw 25,000 supporters descend on Charlton Athletic's The Valley Stadium, and it's expected that the live crowd will be even bigger this year with Football London reporting that over 60,000 spectators have purchased tickets.
This year, the organizers are hoping to top the £1 million ($1.25 million) raised last year.
