Mon Sep 09 14:00:10 UTC 2024: ## Barcelona’s Yamal Joins Gerard Pique’s Kings League

Barcelona’s rising star, 17-year-old Lamine Yamal, has been unveiled as the latest addition to Gerard Pique’s innovative Kings League, a seven-a-side tournament that combines football with social media and unique rules.

Yamal, who burst onto the scene at Euro 2024, becoming the youngest player to score in the competition, has already made a significant impact for Barcelona, appearing in over 50 matches.

The Kings League, which features former football legends like Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Iker Casillas, is known for its quirky rules, including double goals, penalty shootouts, and sin bins. It remains unclear if Yamal will be playing in the competition or taking on a different role.

Yamal’s involvement in the Kings League is another indication of his growing status in the football world. He has started all four of Barcelona’s La Liga matches this season, contributing one goal and four assists.

The Kings League’s new season kicks off on September 15th at the Cupra Arena in Barcelona, with further details about Yamal’s role expected to be revealed in the coming days.
