The split between Gerard Pique and global singer Shakira has been the cause of a lot of discussion among fans and the media alike. With Shakira now reportedly leaving Barcelona, many have been speculating about Pique’s future. Regardless of all this, Pique has stayed busy and has been focusing on a new project.

He made an unexpected move in November 2022 when he called on quits from professional soccer. However, Pique hasn’t stayed away from the sport and in December, he announced the launch of his new venture, the Kings League. The Kings League is a revolutionary new soccer tournament that features unique rules and a much shorter match duration than regular soccer.
