The Kings League Américas, set to kick off in January 2024, is making waves as it ventures into the American continent, with Mexico City as the chosen battleground. Much like its European counterpart, the Kings League InfoJobs, this new competition promises to take the beautiful game to another dimension and bring together soccer talent from diverse corners of the Americas.

The Kings League Américas, designed to mirror the format of the original Kings League InfoJobs, is set to unite 12 Spanish-speaking presidents from different countries, including Chile, Argentina, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and the United States, among others. This dynamic group of presidents, who are influential figures within the streaming and soccer world, will spearhead the growth of this exciting tournament across the continent.

The competition is expected to bridge the Atlantic divide by running concurrently with its European counterpart. This means that teams from both continents can showcase their skills and talents globally, fostering a sense of unity and friendly rivalry.
