Kings League is an innovative step with seven-a-side teams. It includes 12 teams, with 11 match days. Each team will play the other once, and the top eight will move to the playoffs. The semifinals and final will take place on the same day at Camp Nou on Sunday. Now Pique is eyeing a unique record for the finale at Camp Nou.

Gerard Pique eyeing Guinness record for Kings League final

The Kings League final will take place at Camp Nou. It has a capacity of 95,877. Pique is planning to sell 90,000 costume face masks with the Kings League logo and wants those 90,000 fans to attend the final wearing the costume masks. It will be a new Guinness record if 90,000 people wear the costume masks. The Guinness record for wearing costume masks is 30,050. 

The tickets for the final are up for sale, and so far over 80,000 tickets have been sold. It will take an enormous effort to make 90,000 people wear the mask for the final, and Pique looks determined to make it possible after his ex, Shakira, recently made 14 Guinness records with her diss track targeted at former Barcelona defender.
