Is IShowSpeed playing in the 2023 Sidemen Charity Match? Cristiano Ronaldo superfan to face rival KSI

IShowSpeed was one of the biggest hits of the 2022 Sidemen Charity Match as he entertained fans from across the world with his antics.

The American streamer caused carnage throughout and has been in the UK ahead of the 2023 match this weekend.

Speed is extremely popular online and there has been demand from fans to get him involved in this year’s match.

Will IShowSpeed play in the Sidemen 2023 Charity Match?

The good news for all Speed fans is that the 18-year-old will be involved this year.

He is set to be part of the YouTube All-Stars team that will be managed by talkSPORT’s Mark Goldbridge.

That means he will be on opposite sides to KSI once more, although the leader of the Sidemen is going to play in goal due to his upcoming fight against Tommy Fury.

This is probably because of what happened with Speed last year when the American scythed KSI down in the opening exchanges.

Speed also scored an offside goal that led to him removing his shirt and whipping referee Mark Clattenburg with it.

Speed currently has a staggering 20.2million YouTube subscribers and has produced 1,200 videos.

In a match full of social media stars, he is one of the biggest involved.

The American was seen at last week’s game between Manchester United and Arsenal at the Emirates.

KSI was also there, and the two had a light-hearted go at each other during the match.

Speed is a United fan because of his love for Cristiano Ronaldo, and KSI is a big Gooner, so after a 3-1 win, he would have been the happier of the two.

However, it remains to be seen who comes out of the Charity Match on top.
