He also involved Pique’s ex-wife Shakira by playing one of her famous songs ‘Te Felicito’ in the background. However, the soccer universe didn’t find any malicious intent in this story as two soccer stars played soccer for the same team for over a decade.

What is the ‘Kings League’?

This 12-team competition was established by well-known soccer stars, streamers, and gamers from across the world. Each team has a squad of 12 players. The games will be 7-a-side, unlike the usual 11. In November, Pique and the other founding members of this league organized a draft live on Twitch. This was to fill up the 12 teams with ten soccer players each.

However, the 11th and 12th players are not regular players. The 11th player could be an ex-soccer player or even a current soccer player. The only catch is that the 11th player cannot change throughout the season, while the 12th player can change from week to week.

When asked about the legitimacy and level of the league, Chicharito told ESPN , “Some people think [projects like these] are recreational, but it’s much more than that, it is a great opportunity for everyone involved.” It remains to be seen how popular the ‘Kings League’ gets in the coming weeks. Soccer legends like Gerard Pique, Iker Casillas, and Sergio Aguero are doing all they can to promote their new league.
