Its innovative Kings League project was born in 2023 and continues its expansion internationally in 2024 with the Kings League Americas and the first World Cup to be held in Mexico between the months of May and June.
In the same interview he recounted how the idea of creating the Kings League arose: “One of the reasons why we started the Kings League is because “I saw my children watching a soccer game and after ten minutes they were on their phones, their tablets, watching something else.”
In addition, he highlighted that football has a lot of competition with platforms such as Netflix, Amazon, YouTube or TikTok: “Everyone has their time limit. Football for 90 minutes is not so exciting anymore,” He added to show that football must adapt to the reduction in attention span.
“The clubs will pay the fans to go to the stadium…”
with this project Piqué wanted to revolutionize football as we know it and, to a certain extent, it has achieved it, since the competition had a great impact in 2023 in the world of the internet. In fact, the project was awarded in the Waves Awards as best entertainment program in 2023.
In the interview he explained that football must evolve and think more about the fans: “The clubs will pay the fans to go to the stadium, because the experience at home, in your pajamas, with cookies on the couch, is even better than going to the stadium.”
Finally, he also commented that we have to find ways to make it more entertaining: “Football is afraid of change. It has a huge history, it is very traditional, but change will come, it must come. “A 90-minute match that can end 0-0 is very difficult for the new generation to understand.”
