SATV Mar. 9, Kathmandu: The sell-out Sidemen FC charity match at Wembley Stadium on Saturday raised £4,733,004 for charities including BBC Children in Need.

The YouTube Allstars beat Sidemen FC in a "tense" penalty shootout, following a 9-9 draw at full-time.

Over 8 million people tuned in from around the world to watch the livestream, according to a statement from the organisers.

All 90,000 tickets for the game sold out in three hours, the statement added.
