SDS Live Show 2025: A Celebration of Legacy, Passion, and Community
Friday, 25th July 2025 will be remembered as more than just another date in the SDS calendar — it was a defining moment, a celebration of everything the SDS brand represents: community, creativity, competition, and a deep love for the beautiful game.
This year marked the third consecutive SDS Live Show, a testament to its lasting appeal and growing influence. The event managed to strike the perfect balance between nostalgia for its humble beginnings and the excitement of what lies ahead.
A Triumphant Opening: Sharky’s Ballers League Victory
The night began with well-earned recognition for Sharky’s phenomenal success in the Ballers League. It wasn’t just a trophy win — it was a statement. A reflection of the same determination, leadership, and tactical acumen that Sharky has brought to SDS since day one.
As his name was announced, the cheers were deafening. You could feel the pride in the room — not just from the SDS team, but from the loyal supporters who have followed his journey every step of the way. The victory became a shared achievement, one that set the tone for the rest of the evening. The SDS members came out with their incredible theme songs and set the pace for the rest of the live show
LIvely Debate
The night began by some lively debates, with three judges randomly selected from the crowd, each member of SDS gave their hot take on football, with Chunkz having the final say. It was heated yet incredibly enjoyable with Liban getting booed of the stage.

SDS Mastermind: Pod vs. FC
The stage was then set for the SDS Mastermind Showdown, the ever-iconic battle between SDS FC and SDS Pod. The format was familiar, but the stakes felt higher than ever.
The crowd engaged with every correct answer, jeered at every slip-up, and lived each moment alongside their favourites. Emotions ran high, but when the dust settled, SDS Pod emerged victorious — sparking celebrations, playful taunts, and the kind of banter only SDS can deliver.
The beauty of this contest wasn’t just in the competition, but in how it brought out the best (and funniest) of each member’s personality — from Faysal’s passion to Lyes’ razor-sharp knowledge and Liban’s unapologetic bluntness.
StockX Presents: Guess the Footballer — Career Pathway Edition
Partnering with StockX brought a fresh energy to the night, with the Guess the Footballer: Career Pathway game becoming an instant crowd favourite.
The rules were simple but thrilling: a player’s career journey was revealed step-by-step, and participants had to guess their identity. Tension built with each clue, and the moments of sudden realisation had the crowd erupting in excitement.
The cherry on top? StockX prizes for those who were able to answer correctly — adding a competitive edge that had fans on the edge of their seats. Supporters were left grateful for their incredible gifts, and it encapsulated the wonderful night
