La Derecha Diario Maffeo becomes the first active footballer to play in the Kings League
The Spanish player, naturalized Argentine, currently plays for Mallorca and had already been drafted by Lionel Scaloni to play for the National Team
Pablo Maffeo, right-back for RCD Mallorca, will join the Kings League this Sunday in the Kunisports team, chaired by former player Sergio "Kun" Agüero, and will be the first active player to compete in this young competition.
"With this addition, the Kings League strengthens its position as a space where innovation and football converge to offer an unprecedented spectacle", celebrates the competition, which had been giving hints over the past week about the revelation player of this round until the mystery was solved this Wednesday, which were as follows:
- Currently plays in the First Division
- Is a starter in his team
- His team is Top 10 in the League
- His team has won the Copa del Rey at some point
- His country has won the World Cup at some point
All these clues match Maffeo's description. Mallorca is currently 7th in the League (Spain's first division), where he is an undisputed starter at right-back. Additionally, "Los Bermellones," as the club is nicknamed, won a Copa del Rey in 2003, and the player is from a country that has won a World Cup at some point, whether considering his birthplace (Sant Joan Despí, Spain) or his nationality (Argentina).
The Kings League, created by Piqué and streamer Ibai, is a new type of 7-a-side football league with teams chaired by the world's top streamers and content creators, with revolutionary rules that aim to combine the best of football with the latest trends in esports and new ways of communicating.
Meanwhile, "Kun's" team is the only Argentine representative in the Kings League Spain, something that benefits Maffeo due to the proximity to his "main" club. His debut will be on Sunday at 6 PM, Spanish peninsular time (2 PM Argentina).
