This futsal competition was launched by former Spanish star Gerard Piqué, in partnership with several former and current footballers, as well as renowned influencers.

The tournament takes place across six countries: France, Italy, Germany, as well as Mexico, Brazil, and Spain.

The Tunisian playmaker made a strong impression during the French edition of the Kings League, scoring four goals and providing two assists in five matches played.

As a reminder, Faïssal Mannaï played the first half of the current season with Union Sportive Monastirienne before leaving the club last January due to financial disagreements.

His performances with the Sahel club in recent seasons opened the door to the Carthage Eagles national team. Last year, he represented Tunisia at the Egypt Capital Cup, a tournament eventually won by Croatia.

What should you know about Faïssal Mannaï?

The former "Carthage Eagle" began his career with FC Nantes before playing for several amateur clubs such as Métallo Chantenay, Vertou, Milligné, and Cholet.

In 2023, he joined Union Sportive Monastirienne as a free agent after his contract with Concarneau expired.

He featured in 28 matches for the Sahel club across all competitions, contributing to ten goals through both assists and personal finishes.

Despite being away from the pitch in recent months, his market value is estimated at 650,000 euros according to "Transfermarkt".
