The 2025 Kings World Cup Nations is an international seven-a-side football tournament based on the Kings League format created by Gerard Piqué and Ibai Llanos. Unlike the Kings World Cup launched in 2024, which is a club competition, this tournament will see players from the different versions of the Kings League forming teams to represent their respective nations, similar to the FIFA World Cup.

During the launch event for the Kings League Italy on 18 November 2024, it was confirmed that Italy would be hosting the tournament, which is slated to be held from 1 to 12 January 2025, with the finals taking place in Turin's Juventus Stadium.[1]
