The 2025 Kings World Cup Nations is an upcoming international seven-a-side football tournament based on the Kings League format created by Gerard Piqué and Ibai Llanos. Unlike the Kings World Cup launched in 2024, which is a club competition, this tournament will see players from the different versions of the Kings League forming teams to represent their respective nations, similar to the FIFA World Cup.
During the launch event for the Kings League Italy on 18 November 2024, it was confirmed that Italy would be hosting the tournament, which is slated to be held from 1 to 12 January 2025, with the finals taking place in Turin's Juventus Stadium.[1]
As usual in the Kings League, each national team is expected to be chaired by a streamer or a personality related to football. Spain and Mexico, the countries that host the Kings League and the Américas Kings League, were the first two national teams confirmed.[2]
Ricardo Leite (Kaká), Cris Guedes, Neymar da Silva, Allan Rodrigues (O Estagiário), Alexandre Borba Chiqueta (Gaules), Bruno Goes (Nobru), Lucio dos Santos (Cerol), Luan Kovarik (Jon Vlogs), Aliffe de Carvalho (Paulinho o Loko), Lucas Gagliasso (Luquet4), Nyvi Estephan, Victor Costa (Coringa), Ludmilla, Konrad Dantas (Kondzilla) and Michel

Note: Since this is the first tournament held with national teams under the Kings format, every player is considered as starting over with zero caps regardless of any prior association football or futsal career.
