Eden Hazard joins Kings World Cup as excitement builds for Global Football event

Despite officially retiring from professional football a few months ago, Eden Hazard remains actively involved in the sport. The former Chelsea star has recently joined the prestigious Kings World Cup, a new and highly successful initiative launched by Gerard Piqué in Spain earlier this year.

The Kings League, initiated by Piqué, has gained immense popularity with the participation of renowned stars such as Aguero and Ilker Casillas.

Building on this success, a new version of the competition called the Americas Kings League has started in Mexico, featuring streamers, content creators, and footballers from across South America.

Looking ahead, Gerard Piqué plans to merge these existing competitions into a global event next summer: The Kings World Cup.

This innovative concept has already generated significant excitement, with 32 teams from around the world set to compete in Mexico from May 26 to June 8. The winning team will receive a cash prize of one million dollars.

To ensure the success of this grand event, Piqué has enlisted prominent figures from football.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been appointed as the competition’s president, with Neymar and Mario Gotze serving as presidents for the Brazilian and German teams, respectively.

Additionally, Eden Hazard will join Belgium’s team for the Kings World Cup, providing fans with an opportunity to witness the former Red Devils’ number 10 in action once again.

In another announcement, Rio Ferdinand will preside over England’s team, promising a gathering of footballing superstars for what is shaping up to be an extraordinary event.
