While 2025 is undeniably shaping up to be the year of Gerard Piqué’s global Kings League vision, with new leagues popping up in Italy, Germany, France, and Brazil, it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. Cracks are appearing, and they’re coming from the very heart of the project: the original Spanish Kings League presidents. Big names like TheGrefg, DjMariio, Ibai Llanos, and Juan Guarnizo – the content creators who are the show – have been lighting up social media and their streams, airing some serious grievances. So, what’s really going on? Why is there trouble in Piqué’s paradise?
Expansion Overload: Is Kings League Spain Being Left Behind?
The number one complaint? The rapid-fire international expansion. While a global “Kings League universe” sounds epic, Piqué and his team aren’t superhuman. With so many new leagues demanding attention, the Spanish presidents feel their pioneering competition, the one that started it all just two and a half years ago, is getting sidelined. “They don’t have unlimited heads and hands,” as the sentiment goes, and it seems Kings League Spain is no longer top priority.
This isn’t just a vibe; it’s hitting them where it hurts. Take the recent split finals: both the Kings League and Queens League Spain saw their championship deciders played out in Turin and Veracruz, respectively. Imagine winning the league and not being able to celebrate with your core fanbase, family, and friends on home turf! That stung.
Even Piqué’s presence at the Cupra Arena, once a regular sight, has become a rarity. These “small things” add up, fueling a growing disconnect and a feeling of being forgotten as the league chases global domination.
Rules Bent for Newcomers? The KWC Controversy Boils Over!
If the expansion pains were a slow burn, the recent Kings Club World Cup rules controversy was the spark that lit the fuse. The league allowed Miami 7, Jake Paul and Adin Ross’s new American team, to register more than three players from other Kings League teams. This decision absolutely infuriated DjMariio, who, by contrast, was reportedly blocked from replacing his injured star player, Marc Granero, with another draft player. Ouch.
This, and other similar instances, has left many Spanish presidents feeling like the league is bending its own rules to favor flashy newcomers, leaving the loyal, day-one presidents out in the cold. It’s a classic “are they forgetting who brought them to the dance?” scenario.
The core issue seems to be a perceived lack of consistent support and a feeling that the original league’s needs are being overlooked in the excitement of global expansion. While growing the “Kings League universe” is the goal, the founding members are making it clear: don’t forget your roots.
What’s your take on this? Are the Spanish Kings League presidents right to feel neglected? Is the league expanding too quickly, or are these just growing pains? Drop your opinions in the comments below – let’s talk Kings League drama!
