In addition, former world-class stars such as Ibrahimovic, Casillas, ‘Kun’ Agüero, Ronaldinho, Hazard, Totti, Pirlo, among others, have also participated in the competition.

A Real Madrid star also joined the league

In addition to Yamal, in the video published by the competition numerous personalities were seen such as the influencer Jake Paul or the singer Maria Becerra, but one of the most notable presences was that of Vinicius Jr. The Real Madrid star did not want to lose track of the Barça ‘jewel’ and joined the Kings World Cup, an event that will take place next year. Like Lamine, the Brazilian’s role in the project is also not defined, so, for now, we will have to keep an eye on the news that will surely be announced in the coming days on the eve of the start of the league, which kicks off on September 15 at the Cupra Arena.
