Got your eyes on the 2025 Kings League World Cup Nations final? Well, buckle up! Brazil and Colombia are gearing up for a unique seven-a-side soccer showdown this Sunday, Jan. 12. This isn't your typical soccer match; the tournament, launched by Gerard Pique's Kings League, features some offbeat rules like the 'golden goal' in the last two minutes, where a goal counts double. So, how did we get here? Both finalists had impressive performances throughout the tourney, which started on New Year's Day in Italy. Brazil beat Mexico 3-1 in the semis, while Colombia narrowly won against Morocco 2-1. The final will be played at Turin's Allianz Stadium and broadcast live on CBS Sports Golazo Network at 12 p. m. ET. The tournament format is a mixed bag, with teams playing in a Swiss-style preliminary phase. The top-ranked teams move on, while the others have a second chance in the last chance round. After that, it's business as usual with quarterfinals, semis, and the final. The rules, as Pique mentioned, are a bit wacky. Rolling a dice during the match to change the number of players on the field? Now that's something new! Behind the scenes, the Kings League is supported by some big names in soccer, such as Iker Casillas and Ronaldinho, along with influencer Jake Paul. These investors add their own flavor to the tournament. So, why should you watch? It's not just about who wins; it's about the unique experience. Seven-a-side soccer, unusual rules, and top soccer talent - it's a combo you don't want to miss!
