Vinicius Jr. will also be part of the 'Kings World Nations Cup', the new tournament with which the Kings League seeks to revolutionize the world of football next year. Like Lamine Yamal, the Real Madrid winger appeared in the presentation video of the national team championship announced by Gerard Piqué and Ibai Llanos, along with other renowned stars from the football and entertainment industry.

Along with 'Vini' and Lamine, the almost 7-minute long presentation included personalities such as the American rapper and influencer Jake Paul and the Argentine singer María Becerra. Even the president of LaLiga, Javier Tebas, joined the launch of the tournament, beyond his criticism of the Kings League during its first seasons. In terms of entertainment, the bet of what began as a league of streamers aims for the highest in 2025.

The Kings League returns with its most ambitious tournament

In that sense, the new Kings League World Cup of national teams promises to revolutionize what will be its most ambitious commitment since its creation in 2022. The project aims to emulate the World Cup with a new format that, in addition to incorporating great stars of the football, also allows you to see the best 'cracks' from Europe and South America sharing teams.

This being the case, it would not be strange, why not, to see Lamine Yamal and Vinicius Jr. wearing the same shirt, although there are still many details to be defined regarding the role that both players will have in the tournament. The new Kings League season begins next Sunday, September 15, while the Kings World Nations Cup will take place in 2025.
