FIFA 20 coronavirus charity tournament featuring Barcelona, Real Madrid & La Liga stars gets under way

While the majority of leagues around the world have been suspended due to measures put in place to slow the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, La Liga football continues to go ahead this weekend in the form of a charity tournament on FIFA 20.

Organised by Spanish video game streamer Ibai Llanos, the influencer invited each of the Primera Division sides to nominate a single player to represent their teams in a 20-club tournament that runs from Friday March 20 to Sunday March 22.

Once each club had nominated their player, a draw was made – in a rather unorthodox manner, it should be said, with Llanos pulling names from a cooking pot whilst donning his house robe – to see which of the Liga stars would be facing off against each other.
