Soccer Aid 2023: Who is Noah Beck playing for World XI?

Soccer Aid returns for another year and in 2023 is taking place back at Old Trafford.

The charity football match was last played at the home of Manchester United back in 2020 when it took place behind closed doors due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Among the former professional footballers and celebs taking part this year is American Tik Tok star Noah Beck. The 22-year-old is expected to be one of the stand-out players out of the celebrities as he has previously played 17 times for NCAA side Portland Pilots.

Noah attended the University of Portland in 2019 where he studied sports. However, due to the pandemic he only managed to complete his second semester of freshman year online before dropping out. But now, the American social media personality is most known for his content on video-sharing platform TikTok where he has 33.9m followers.

He began using TikTok during quarentine and his videos began to go viral quickly. Noah joined a content collective called ‘The Sway House’ but quickly became one of the stand-out members.

Noah was in a relationship with fellow social media personality Dixie D’Amelio from September 2020 to late 2022.

Manchester United fan Noah returns to take part in his second Soccer Aid – having made his debut last year where he scored a 22nd-minute penalty. He also managed to fire home from the spot in the penalty shootout – which the World XI won 4-1.

He also took part in the Sidemen Charity match at The Valley last September. The game raised over £1,000,000 split across Campaign Against Living Miserably, Teenage Cancer Trust, Rays of Sunshine, and M7 Education. He finished the game with two assists.
