Jake Paul makes his debut in the Kings World Cup Nations with an explosive touch

Jake Paul, known for his impact on the boxing world and social media, has taken an unexpected turn in his career in 2025 by participating in the final of the Kings World Cup Nations.

On a day when he not only watched his first Kings World match but also played a singular role.

“This is the new way to understand football”

In a high-profile event with Brazil and Colombia chasing the dream of winning the first edition of the Kings World Cup Nations, there was no shortage of big surprises, and one of them was Jake Paul’s appearance.

“I’m excited for my first Kings League match. I’m going to kick off the match with a giant cannon. It’s going to be super fun, and this is the new way to understand football. It’s great to be here in Italy and represent the United States.”

Brazil or Colombia?

When asked about his favorite between Brazil and Colombia for the final of the KWC Nations 2025 title, Jake Paul first responded diplomatically. “Man, it’s tough. It’s really tough.”

However, he ended up leaning toward La Canarinha, who would lift the title at Allianz Stadium in Turin, according to the younger Paul brother. “I have to say: I love you, Brazil.”

Final advice from several legends

Several former players who participated in the Legends vs. Streamers match wanted to give some last advice to the players before the game.

The first was Iker Casillas. “It’s a unique opportunity. You never know when you’ll get it again. Enjoy it as much as you can and stay focused.”

Another European champion, Leonardo Bonucci, also stood up to express his encouragement to the players. “Good luck to all, I’m sure we’ll see a great match.”

Lastly, Miguel Layún also shared his advice. “I’m one of those who believes life puts opportunities in front of you, and the one with more passion and determination is the one who ends up grabbing them.”
