Haaland was seen alongside the group on an indoor football pitch as the partnership was revealed ahead of the Sunday release.

In the trailer, the striker, 25, was seen front and centre and gestured his hands to people on the side to come into view.

The next shot saw the camera zoom out as the seven Sidemen stars were seen cheering to welcome the collaboration.

Fans want the group to include Haaland in the latest charity match, which will take place on April 18 at Wembley Stadium.

The post received more than 100,000 likes on Instagram five hours after being published.

Sidemen member Vikkstar joked: “Can he join Sidemen FC?”

However, it is unlikely City would authorise their star man playing as they enter the title run-in against Arsenal – particularly given that the two sides are set to play one another that very weekend.

Instead, Haaland and the group’s collaboration will likely be limited to a “Sidemen Sunday”, which is a weekly series often featuring challenges or games with the group and fellow content creators.

The group officially formed in 2013, becoming famous through sharing footage of their games on YouTube.

They hosted their first charity match in 2016, raising £110,000 for charity.

After a four-year break it returned in 2022 and raised £1million for CALM,
Teenage Cancer Trust, Rays of Sunshine and M7 Education.

The following year £2.4m was raised, before they had a record-breaking year in 2025 which saw more than £4.7m raised.

We will have to see what the challenge they participate with Haaland on Sunday is, but considering it is on a football pitch we can guess it is a football challenge.
