The chemical energy - sugars - in your bloodstream are absorbed by the muscle cells in your arms. Your muscles convert this chemical energy into kinetic energy (the energy of motion) in moving the match against the sandpaper surface.
The movement of the match against the sandpaper surface causes friction, changing the kinetic energy into heat.
The heat of friction in the matchhead causes the phosphorus coating to ignite, converting the heat of friction into heat of combustion, in which the chemical energy in the match is oxidized into radiant heat.

A 45 kg boy runs at a rate of 2.5 m/s and jumps on top of a stationary skateboard that has a mass of 4 kg. After jumping onto the board, the boy and the board travel off together. Assuming that momentum is conserved, what is the final speed of the boy and the board?
Technically its potential energy until it's lit, and then it depends on the match brand.

When she lit the first match, she had a vision of a large polished iron stove, giving of a delightful warmth. When she lit the second match, she saw a roast goose on a dinner table. When she lit the third match, she had a vision of sitting under a beautiful Christmas tree. Every match she lit after that gave her a vision of her beloved dead grandmother, who finally took the little girl up to heaven.

The match wasn't lit.
Usually with a lit match. BOOM

If you put a lit match in a bottle, and put like a screw cap on it, the flame from the match will use up all the oxygen in the bottle and when there is no oxygen left, the match will just go out.
