Speaking of the upcoming match, Beta Squad’s Niko Omilana said:
“We’re ready to play! Going head-to-head with AMP is going to be an unforgettable experience that we hope our fans enjoy. Knowing how bad AMP are at football, we wanted to even things up so AMP’s mystery player is a current professional footballer who is set to make the match go down in history. Being able to bring everyone together for a great cause (The Water Project) and have all the support from our fans, makes us even more excited.”
In an exciting twist, the AMP team will feature a ‘mystery player’— a current professional footballer with Premier League and Champions League experience. This disguised player will be masked the entire match to keep his identity a secret, joining some of the biggest online creators from around the world, collectively showcasing to a following of hundreds of millions of fans.
The charity football match, scheduled for 16:00 BST, is set to be a memorable day in YouTube history, with all proceeds from the event going towards supporting The Water Project, ensuring that the impact of this event extends far beyond the football pitch.
