Buzz around a Sidemen England vs France charity match, often referred to as the Eleven All-Stars 2, is reaching a fever pitch across the creator football community. A rumored May 24, 2026 date is circulating widely, and with the Sidemen just wrapping their sold-out Wembley match on April 18, the "Away" leg in France is shaping up as the direct sequel to the landmark 2022 Stade Jean-Bouin showdown. Here is the full breakdown of the rumors and potential lineups based on current chatter in the creator community.
For context on where this all started, see our coverage of the Sidemen Charity Match 2026 results and the full Wembley lineup confirmed ahead of April 18. AmineMaTue played for Sidemen FC at Wembley, widely understood as a scouting trip before returning to lead France.

France Rumored Lineup | AmineMaTue, Cherki, Squeezie
The French side, led by Amine, is rumored to be stacking their squad with professional-tier talent and high-profile crossover stars, aiming to avenge their narrow showing in recent UK-based games.
- AmineMaTue (Captain): The mastermind behind the original event. He played for Sidemen FC in April to scout the competition and is now returning to lead his home nation.
- Squeezie: The biggest YouTuber in France and a lock for the wing based on his 2022 performance.
- Rayan Cherki: The Manchester City playmaker and French U21 star is the biggest rumor in this match. Having scored and celebrated goals like Erling Haaland in the Premier League this season, his participation would give France a genuine pro-level ringer. No confirmation exists, but the buzz is significant.
- 2022 Veterans: Returns from Inoxtag, Billy (RebeuDeter), and Michou are expected to provide the core chemistry from the original match.
If Cherki plays even 15 minutes, it changes the entire dynamic of the match.
England Rumored Lineup | Haaland Wildcard, KSI, Jynxzi
The England-side rumors are headlined by one name above all others: Erling Haaland. With the Premier League season wrapping before May 24, fan speculation is running wild about a potential guest appearance from the Norwegian striker who featured in a Sidemen video earlier this year.
- Erling Haaland (Wildcard rumor): No confirmation exists, but fan expectation is at its highest since the concept of celebrity ringers entered the creator football conversation. His Sidemen YouTube appearance earlier in 2026 has fueled the speculation significantly.
- KSI and Miniminter: After competing on opposite sides at Wembley in April, the two are expected to reunite to lead England's attack in France.
- ChrisMD: Following a dominant performance at the April 18 match, he is a near-lock for the starting XI.
- Jynxzi: After winning MVP honors at Wembley, rumors suggest he may guest for England to maintain the North American audience connection the Sidemen built in 2026.
The Stakes | Creator Football's England vs France Rivalry
The tension for this match is higher than a standard charity game. During the March 2026 draft, Sidemen's Josh (Zerkaa) joked that England was looking "pretty Brexit" while selecting AmineMaTue for the Wembley squad. The France match is the official response: a French-hosted mega-event designed to prove that the French creator community can out-produce and out-play the UK on home soil.
It also raises the stakes for charity. The April 18 Wembley match raised an estimated £6.2M, setting a benchmark. A France-hosted event with Stade de France capacity (80,000+) and potential pro-player appearances could push that figure significantly higher.
What to Watch | Pro Ringer Rule, Ticketing, Broadcast
- The pro ringer rule: Keep an eye on the official announcement regarding Rayan Cherki. If a current Premier League or Ligue 1 player is formally confirmed, it will be the first time the creator football format has officially sanctioned a first-team professional as a participant.
- Ticketing: If the May 24 date is confirmed, tickets are expected to go live in the first week of May and will likely sell out in under 10 minutes based on demand patterns from the 2022 event.
- Broadcast: The 2022 match streamed live on YouTube. A similar setup is expected, with AmineMaTue and the Sidemen's channels co-streaming the event.
- Official announcement: Watch AmineMaTue's YouTube and TikTok channels for the first official confirmation. All details here are based on community speculation as of April 28, 2026.
