Keys to the Kings League Infojobs and the Queens League Oysho

In both competitions 12 teams play in 40-minute matches divided into two parts, with some of the rules of traditional football but with important novelties such as the following.

If it ends in a draw, the match is resolved with a round of five penalties for each team in which a player faces the goalkeeper from the center of the field in a 'one against one' and has five seconds to score a goal. Only with the goalkeeper touching the ball, the penalty is considered stopped.

For the kick-off, each team is placed in its goal and after the whistle, the players run for the ball to get it first.

The yellow card involves the expulsion of the player for two minutes and the red for five minutes.

Each team has several cards and randomly chooses one in each match that gives them an advantage, such as taking a penalty, taking an opposing player off the field for two minutes, stealing the card from the opposing team, doubling the value of their goals for two minutes and using a wild card to change the card they have been given.

Each match also includes a surprise novelty.

Teams can invite one player on each matchday. Ronaldinho, Javier Saviola, Chicharito Hernández and Kun Agüero have been some of those who have played in the first season.

The referees carry a camera and microphone which allows them to share their point of view and comments with the spectators.
