Founded by former Barcelona defender Gerard Piqué and streamer Ibai Llanos, the Kings League is a seven-a-side football league in Spain established in 2022.

Unique elements of the tournament include “secret weapons” such as penalty shootouts starting from midfield and periods where goals count as double.
