Gerard Piqué is one of the men of the moment. In addition to the media separation that he has starred in with the Colombian singer Shakira and all the comments that this rupture has generated at a global level, the former soccer player is at the forefront of social conversation because he created the Kings League at the end of last year, a Barcelona-based 7-a-side soccer league that has become a complete success.
The former soccer player started this project after his retirement from professional soccer in association with different streamers and internet and social media personalities. During these months, the league matches have had a great reach, good results and a lot of visibility, for which the organizers are very happy.
To understand this league well, it should be noted that each season is divided into two splits: the summer and the winter, and that each of them has a regular phase and a play-off phase. In the first, the twelve teams play eleven games (once with each rival) in two-part, twenty-minute matches with three-minute rest in between.
The teams that win the most games and lead the competition qualify and go on to play the play-offs which, depending on the season and the specific split, have one format or another, as stated in the official regulations.
After a very successful season, Clara Chía’s boyfriend has announced on Twitch the new salaries of the players in this league and has announced that from now on a salary will not be charged per game, but that everything will go by season (September- end of July).
Salaries vary depending on whether the player is selected in the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth round of the draft. While those chosen in the first round will earn 7,500 euros per year (225 euros per game), those chosen in the second will earn 6,250 euros per year and those chosen in number five will earn 2,500 euros each season.
These salaries are calculated based on the 33 regular league games, but Piqué has clarified that it will not be like that “exactly” because there will not be three splits of eleven games, since the third will have “a different format”. , more reduced”.
These new data represent a substantial increase in salaries, since, if they are chosen in the first round, the players would be earning triple what they have reaped in this first season.
The Kings League and the Queens League have proven to be more than profitable projects for the ex-Blaugrana, since, among other issues, a few weeks ago it was discovered that the matches generated so much expectation that the Mediaset communication group had shown interest in them and that Cuatro would broadcast the matches on national television.
Although Piqué is the visible face of this league for being its president, there are many other figures from the world of the Internet and sports that are involved: the streamer TheGrefg, Iker Casillas, Ibai Llanos, Kun Agüero, Gerard Romero, Spursito, etc.
