Gerard Piqué is a Spanish former professional footballer widely regarded as one of the greatest centre backs of his generation. A product of FC Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy, he began his senior career at Manchester United before returning to Barcelona, where he helped the club win multiple La Liga titles and UEFA Champions League trophies. Internationally, he earned more than 100 caps for Spain and played a key role in the team’s 2010 FIFA World Cup and Euro 2012 victories.
After retiring from professional football in 2022, Gerard turned his focus to sport entertainment and innovation. He founded the Kings League, a new format, creator led football competition that blends sport, digital content, and fan interaction and has attracted massive online audiences and reimagined how fans can experience the game.
At BRIDGE Summit, Gerard will share his vision for the future of sport entertainment, how new formats can engage younger audiences, and what it takes to reinvent a global sport while respecting its roots.
World Cup and Champions League winner Gerard Piqué has redefined what it means to play, watch, and experience sport. As the mind behind the Kings League, he merged competition, entertainment, and creator culture to captivate millions worldwide. In this conversation, Piqué unpacks how digital communities, storytelling, and innovation can turn a game into a movement, and why the future of entertainment may belong as much to creators as to athletes.
