    WHAT NEXT?

    Fans will get to see the tournament begin next week, which involves a smaller indoor pitch, 15-minute halves, and shock rule twists will be thrown in as well. After Baller League was established in Germany by Mats Hummels and Lukas Podolski two years ago, this new UK version will hope to be just as successful.
