Kings League initiates job cuts affecting 40 staff

The Kings League, launched by Gerard Piqué in 2023, has launched a redundancy process to cut 30% of its Barcelona-based workforce. The move targets approximately 40 employees out of a total staff of 125. The Kings League confirmed the restructuring plan, which follows a review of operational needs. The competition, backed by Piqué, has not disclosed which departments or roles will be affected. A spokesperson for the Kings League stated that the changes aim to improve financial sustainability while maintaining competitive integrity. The process will follow local labor regulations governing redundancies in Spain. The Kings League, a seven-a-side indoor football competition, operates with a hybrid model combining professional players and celebrity participants. Its Barcelona headquarters serves as the administrative hub for the league’s operations across Spain. The redundancy process is expected to conclude within the coming weeks, pending consultation with affected employees and union representatives.
