Who is Noah Beck in Soccer Aid 2022?

This year’s Soccer Aid will see a fresh bunch of faces take to the pitch as they either join the England or World XI FC side. And among those new faces is Noah Back.

The American TikTok star will join the World XI and make his debut alongside fellow newbies Dragons’ Den star Steven Bartlett and comedian Munya Chawawa as well as familiar Soccer Aid stars Line of Duty actor Martin Compston and former Love Island star Kem Cetinay.

Now in its 11th year the big charity fixture will once again be raising money for UNICEF to help with its mission of providing vaccines, tackling malnutrition and protecting children in times of crisis, such as the conflict in Ukraine.

Since its creation in 2006, by singer Robbie Williams and entertainer Jonathan Wilkes, Soccer Aid has raised more than £60m. And they’ll be hoping Noah is good at soccer as if the World XI win this year, they’ll take the lead in the overall Soccer Aid stakes.

But what do we know about him? Well, lucky for the World XI side, the 21-year-old was a midfielder for the Portland Pilots men’s soccer in 2019. He also captained the U.S Youth Soccer Olympic Development Program (ODP) from 2014-2017.

He attended the University of Portland in 2019 where he studied sports. However, due to the pandemic, Noah 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.

His social media career blossomed during the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, when Noah began using TikTok while in quarantine. His videos began to go viral within a month and by the start of 2021, he had 27 million followers on TikTok, 7.3 million on Instagram, and 1.5 million YouTube subscribers.

He joined a content collective called ‘The Sway House’ but quickly became one of the stand-out members. Now, those numbers stand at 33.4m for TikTok and 9m on Instagram but remain around the same on YouTube. Since gaining popularity, Noah has started acting classes and last year appeared in an AwesomenessTV short-form series titled Noah Beck Tries Things.

Noah has been in a relationship with fellow TikTok star Dixie D’Amelio since September 2020. The pair used to appear on each other’s platform together but have since taken a stepback from their joint content.
