'Official'! Fábio Coentrão out of retirement, returns to pitch | OneFootball

It's 'official'. Fábio Coentrão will return to the field. The former Sporting player has been announced as a new addition to El Barrio, a team competing in the Kings League, a 7-a-side football tournament conceived by Gerard Piqué that has gained international attention due to the presence of various football stars.

The 37-year-old Portuguese player's debut is scheduled for this Sunday, against Ultimate Móstoles, in a decisive match of the Kings Cup, the knockout stage of the competition. El Barrio, coached by Adri Contreras, needs to win to avoid elimination, and the arrival of the former Lions' full-back is seen as a significant reinforcement.

The Kings League, known for its innovative and media-friendly format, has attracted big names in football, such as Marcelo, formerly of Real Madrid, and Lamine Yamal, a young star from Barcelona. The inclusion of the Portuguese player further enhances the competitive and global nature of the tournament.

The former player is now returning to put on his boots, this time in a more relaxed setting, but one that promises excitement and spectacle. The return of the former star to the field will be watched with curiosity, especially by the fans of the Alvalade Club.
