The preview of the KWC Nations final: “99% of people are not world champions”
Gerard Piqué and the stars of both teams heat up the anticipation for a historic clash.
The Kings World Cup Nations 2025 will crown its winner this Sunday, January 12, in a final between Colombia and Brazil. Both teams, undefeated in the tournament, will battle for the title at the majestic Allianz Arena in Turin. A clash that has heated up with the press conference held one day before.
With key players such as Alejandro Maro Ortega and Kelvin Oliveira, and the presence of leaders like Juan Guarnizo and Gaules, as well as Gerard Piqué, president of the Kings League, the press conference made it clear that this is a clash that will go down in Kings League history.
The “unique opportunity” to play the KWC Nations final
Gerard Piqué, World Cup champion in 2010 and president of the Kings League, emphasized the importance of this event for the players. From the Allianz Stadium, Piqué reminded them of the privilege of reaching this stage.
“Speaking of being a world champion, 99% of people in the world aren’t, and those who are usually achieve it only once. If they’re lucky enough to be one, they should enjoy it to the fullest, savor every minute they spend on the pitch—before, during, and after the match.”
A clear message for the players to appreciate every moment at the Allianz Stadium in Turin, the venue for the final of the first edition of the KWC Nations 2025.
“Don’t leave as losers”
With impeccable performances, both Colombia and Brazil have remained undefeated throughout the competition, although one of these streaks will come to an end this Sunday, January 12.
For this reason, Piqué also offered words of encouragement to the team that falls short of being crowned champion.
“Those who aren’t lucky enough to win should not leave as losers, not at all. They’ve made it to the final of a World Cup, and there’s incredible work behind getting here. They’ll experience something unique—playing in front of thousands of people.”
Un último consejo de Piqué para afrontar la final
The president of the Kings League stressed the importance of the players “staying calm and having fun. Tomorrow, they should go to the stadium and enjoy absolutely everything because these are unique opportunities that might never come again.”
Despite the intensity of the match, the president of the Kings League sought to reduce the pressure on the players. “As much as we want to add importance and drama to things, it’s football. It’s Kings League. It’s a show. It’s about having fun and entertaining the fans, and that’s our main goal.”
To conclude, Piqué once again highlighted the great achievement of both teams. “Whoever is lucky enough to win should enjoy it to the fullest, and the other should leave with their heads held high!”
