The Kings League is a seven-a-side football tournament chaired by former Spain national team player Gerard Pique.

A distinctive feature of the game is that teams are owned by popular soccer players such as Neymar and Aguero, as well as influencers such as game commentators and YouTubers. The game also has rules designed to make it more entertaining, such as gradually increasing the number of players from the early stages of the match and being able to suddenly launch penalties under certain conditions.

Representing Japan is Murash FC, led by popular streamer Junichi Kato. Their first opponent is Raniza FC, the most recent Americas League winner and a team considered a favorite to win this tournament.

In the first half of the first match, Junichi Kato scored a goal from the owner's penalty kick, but the first half ended with a score of 2-6. After that, the team lost with a final score of 4-10.

During the broadcast, Junichi Kato said, “It's huge that we were able to face a championship favorite in the first match.

We just need to win the next one and then the one after that,” he said, the loudest voice in Mexico.

Murash FC's next match will be against UA Steel (Ukraine) on Saturday, June 1st at 10:00 a.m. If they lose here, they will be eliminated from the tournament. This is an important match.
