KSI will take part in this year’s Sidemen Charity Match at West Ham’s stadium in London on Saturday afternoon.
The YouTube star is one of the founders of the Sidemen group and he is expected to feature alongside other social media stars in the highly anticipated game.

There were some doubts over KSI’s involvement in the game with their huge clash against bitter rival Tommy Fury taking place next month – live on talkSPORT.
However, despite the risk of injury, he will play for Sidemen FC, but in a different position than usual…
Why does KSI play as a goalkeeper?
KSI plays in goal in the Sidemen Charity Match this year.
This is probably due to the reduced risk of injury.
He played in midfield in last year’s game but given the nature of his role, there’s a good chance he’ll be hit.
And this possibility is further increased when iShowSpeed is in the field.
KSI’s other social media star slammed into him in the opening seconds of the match a year ago, leaving him flattened to the ground.
This incident clearly had an impact on KSI who tweeted, “Quick don’t slip me. Can’t get hurt, fought in October.”
Speed replied, “Bro thinks I care.”
Speed, who is known for his obsession with Cristiano Ronaldo, doesn’t seem to mind hurting KSI which is probably why he’ll be playing in goal from now on.
KSI isn’t ready to take any chances ahead of his massive boxing fight against Fury at Manchester Arena on October 14.
An injury in this match could have a big impact on the fight ahead and KSI made the wise decision to stay away from the conflict on the court.
He is confident in his abilities between the sticks, however, as he commented on the news that he will be playing in goal.
KSI tweeted: ‘Get ready for a spectacular performance this Saturday…’
