after an epic football match, the charity marathon raises more than 3 million euros

CHARITY – From Squeezie to Inoxtag, “more than 26 streamers united for peace”. The charity marathon « Stream for Humanity »which mobilized internet stars for three days on Twitch, collected more than 3.4 million euros in donations for the benefit of Doctors Without Borders, the organizers said on Sunday January 19.

A football match concluded the fundraiser organized by the streamer Amine (« Aminematue »3.1 million subscribers on Twitch), in the presence of former football stars like Gérard Piqué and Adil Rami.

Adil Rami manhandled by a streamer

At the Jean-Bouin stadium in Paris, in front of more than 500,000 spectators on Twitch, two teams, one led by Amine, the other by Inoxtag (including the documentary Kaizen was the most viewed video in 2024 on YouTube in France), faced each other on Sunday evening in a match full of twists and turns.

The match ended in a 5-5 draw followed by an epic penalty shootout, including an attempt by Adil Rami to score without a shoe, says the Team. The former world champion, who played for AC Milan and OM, was also manhandled by the streamer PFut during the meeting, as you can see in the video below. The latter even went to score the second goal of the match.

At the end of this sporting event, the organizers congratulated themselves on the success of the event, like videographer and streamer Hugo Délire, who reacted on X: “Well done and thank you to everyone who participated on site or at home in #StreamForHumanity, 3 million is an incredible amount and it was a pleasure to be part of it all with the guys! “.

Donations remain open even if the event is over, the organization said Sunday evening on X.

Before its launch, « Stream for Humanity » had been criticized by certain Internet users, who wondered about the absence of Mayotte or Ukraine among the beneficiaries of this mobilization. The streamer Amine defended himself by saying that he was ready to “do things again in the future for different causes”.

In recent years, these online mobilizations have multiplied in the wake of ZEVENT, a gathering of internet stars whose 8th edition raised more than 10 million euros in September for five associations fighting against precariousness.
