While more details about the US edition are still forthcoming, the UK one will feature a number of iconic footballers, including John Terry and Gary Lineker, among others.

Trials for the teams will be held in London and Manchester, with each match held on Mondays. However, the exact dates are yet to be announced.
The Baller League combines futsal-like street football with unconventional rules to make the 30-minute matches more interesting. Each team can have six players on the pitch at a time unless stated otherwise. Each 15-minute half also ends with a twist called Gamechanger, where the rules of the game are altered drastically.
Both the UK and US versions of the tournament are slated to feature significant star power, both in terms of legendary footballers and internet celebrities.
In related news, the Sidemen Charity Match will also be back next year. This time, the YouTube group has booked the iconic Wembley Stadium for the game. Ticket bookings have already started, and the match is slated to take place on March 8, 2025.
