After his retirement from FC Barcelona in November 2022, the Spanish Gerard Piqué put “hands on” in the company of the streamer Ibai Llanos to organize a 7-a-side soccer tournament called “Kings League”, which saw its first day on 1 January 2023.
At least 12 teams make up the tournament that enjoys free transmission through the social networks of the Kings League, and its presidents.
The team presidents, responsible for making transfers and making decisions, range from prominent streamers such as Ibai Llanos himself, The Grefg and DjMaRiiO, to former soccer players Iker Casillas and Sergio “Kun” Agüero.
Who are the teams and their respective presidents?
- Porcinos FC – Ibai Llanos
- Kunisports – Kun Aguero
- Los Troncos FC – Perxitaa
- Jijantes FC – Gerard Romero
- Ultimate Mostoles – DjMaRiio
- 1K – Iker Casillas
- Pio FC – Rivers
- The Neighborhood – Adri Contreras
- Annihilators – Juan Guarnizo

But in addition to the particular presidents and team names, the Kings League has a regulation that differentiates it from traditional soccer tournaments and the same one that was created through a vote via Twitter by Internet users who follow (or not) the competition.
For example, before the 6 days start (all of them always scheduled on the same day) each coach must take a card and only they can know its content. The cards can be used at any time during the match to your advantage.
In a letter there can be from a penalty in favor to the fact that a goal is worth two if it is possible to score in the next minute. These can only be used when the ball is not in play.
