La Liga Entertainment, a collaboration of La Liga, Kosmos, and PortAventura, is set to launch the mobile video game ‘Land of Goals’. The latest joint effort between Javier Tebas and Gerard Pique will be launched on December 11. As per El Espanol, the former FC Barcelona player initiated this partnership in December 2021 while he was still playing and later joined LaLiga Entertainment’s board of directors in March 2022 before his retirement.

Notably, Pique holds a 10% stake in La Liga Entertainment through Kosmos without making any reported investment. Speaking of the game, ‘Land of Goals’ will have a blend of soccer and PortAventura Park themes while holding the official license for La Liga teams. As stated on the official website, players aim to score goals across various soccer fields using created characters.

The game is based on a ‘pay-to-win’ concept and will offer different payment packs for enhancing avatars. The website advertises various in-game enhancements, special skills, exclusive equipment tied to official jerseys, and surprise packs. Additionally, promotional efforts feature avatars of La Liga players such as Vinicius Jr., Jan Oblak, Iago Aspas and others.
