Kings League generates constant debates about the future of professional football. Created by Gerard Piqué, the competition brings together influencers and former athletes, becoming extremely popular on social networks.
For Javier Tebas, president of La Liga, however,. The agent explained that the tournament should not have the same appeal as a match between professionals.
“I will say a few words for Gerard Piqué to answer me: I don’t even see Kings League in the rearview mirror. I think it’s a very commendable project, but it is not a project that can compete with the great premium sports in terms of audiences or followers. It is based on the world of youtubers mixed with veteran players and a sports phenomenon, nothing more,” he said in sports convention.
The Declaration of Thebes occurs after as a professional football model, with Champions League and World Cup in format.
“I want to do more (national) leagues, replicate some of what traditional football is, but in the ‘world Kings League‘, Why not have 30, 40, 50 alloys in different countries? And two international competitions, the Club World Cup, which would be like the Champions League Or Libertadores, and the World Cup, which would be like the FIFA World Cup of traditional football. So, all these alloys and these two worlds each year, these are a little of the short -term plans for the Kings League, “he explained in an interview with Romário TV.
Founded in Spain, Kings League also spread through Germany, Argentina, Brazil, France, Italy and Mexico. The tournament awards can reach one million dollars.
