YouTube streamer Darren "IShowSpeed" and Prime co-founder Olajide "KSI" have revealed their very own football league, called the Baller League, which is set to feature football veterans such as former Brazilian footballer Ronaldinho, ex-Chelsea captain John Terry, Portuguese legend Luis Figo, among others.

The announcement came in the form of a trailer, which was originally posted on X by @BallerLeagueUK. The clip features KSI alongside other Sidemen members such as Simon "Miniminter" and Tobit "TBJZL", with some of the veteran footballers also making an appearance.

The Baller League will have two separate versions for the United Kingdom and the United States, with KSI acting as the president for the former while IShowSpeed acts as the president for the latter. Both KSI and IShowSpeed are well-known within football circles.

Before becoming involved with Prime Hydration, KSI was an active YouTuber in his early days with much of his content alongside fellow Sidemen members being focused on football. On the other side, IShowSpeed is a massive fan of Portuguese football icon Cristiano Ronaldo, with him even going to Germany to watch him play at UEFA Euro 2024.

Football greats such as Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer, Micah Richards, Robert Pires, Freddie Ljungberg, and Jens Lehmann will be acting as managers within the UK league. On the other side, Ronaldinho will supposedly be acting as a manager in the USA league.

Many football-focused content creators such as Twitch streamer Morgan "Angry Ginge" and Sidemen members Miniminter and TBJZL will also act as managers of their teams. The league is set to launch next year in March 2025.


IShowSpeed recently made another huge announcement regarding his upcoming streaming schedule. The YouTuber has revealed that he may be holding a month-long tour of Africa, which will come following his currently ongoing tour of Australia and New Zealand.
