The Baller League, a German small-sided football league, is expanding to the UK and USA in 2025, marking its first ventures outside Germany.
Former German national goalkeeper Jens Lehmann has been announced as a team manager in the league's expansion efforts.
Other notable figures involved include English football legends Gary Lineker, John Terry, and Alan Shearer as team managers in the UK, and Brazilian star Ronaldinho as a player in the USA.
