A widely successful venture from Germany has made its way to England as the hit new indoor football competition Baller League begins play in the UK league.
Created on the heels of the success of King’s League in Spain, spawned by Gerard Pique, Baller League is an influencer-led six-a-side indoor competition that pits former Premier League players, futsal professionals, and celebrities from all over against one another.
Helmed by influencer KSI, each of the 12 teams will have a 12-player squad, playing games with halves that are 15 minutes long. They will play regular six-a-side rules, with one twist: in the final three minutes of each half, things get weird. The match switches to three-a-side, with goalkeepers not allowed to use their hands, and long-range goals counting double.
The Sporting News brings you an updated overview of the current standings as well as the previous results and the upcoming schedule.
