A New Chapter Begins in Germany
Known globally for its dominant presence in esports titles like League of Legends, VALORANT, and Counter-Strike 2, G2 is now stepping onto the football pitch. The Berlin-based G2 FC will make its first appearance in Kings League Germany, a fast-growing seven-a-side football competition with a unique entertainment twist.
The team will be competing in a qualification series starting April 12th, alongside eight other teams. The top two squads from this series will earn the right to represent Germany in the Kings World Cup Clubs 2025, which will take place in France.
What is Kings League?
If you’re unfamiliar, Kings League is no ordinary football competition. Founded in 2022 by popular streamer Ibai Llanos and ex-footballer Gerard Piqué, this high-octane 7v7 football format quickly caught fire in Spain and has since expanded to Italy, Brazil, and now Germany. Notably, FURIA Esports, another gaming powerhouse, has also joined the league’s Brazilian branch—further proof that esports brands are ready to shake up traditional sports.
A Team Built for the Future
To lead this new venture, G2 FC has brought in Ron Stublla as Team Manager and Malik Hadziavdic as Head Coach. Stublla comes from a background in sports management, while Hadziavdic boasts experience as a former German National Futsal Team player. The rest of the player roster has already been selected through a series of tryouts, with the official lineup set to be announced soon.
Vision: From ‘Real Madrid of Esports’ to ‘G2 of Sports’
Alban Dechelotte, CEO of G2 Esports, shared the vision behind this strategic expansion:
“When G2 was created 10 years ago, the dream was to build the ‘Real Madrid of esports.’ We wanted to be known not just for our competitive success, but also for our personality, storytelling, and community. Now that we’ve reached that milestone, it’s time to go further and become the ‘G2 of sports.’”
How to Watch G2 FC Matches
G2 has also made sure fans won’t miss a single moment. The organization has partnered with popular German Twitch streamers Reeze and Rumathra, who will co-stream all G2 FC matches live on their channels. This partnership promises to bring the same energy, community spirit, and digital-first experience G2 fans have come to love.
With this historic step, G2 Esports is not just crossing into new territory — it’s redefining what it means to be a sports and entertainment brand in the 21st century. Football fans and esports lovers alike: the game is changing.
