Courtois, Soldado, Sergi Roberto or Carlos Soler have already signed up. The benefits will go to a solidarity cause.
At a time when many need digital entertainment more than ever, Ibai Llanos is putting his grain of sand, starring in several streaming that have achieved a great impact thanks to the presence of prominent figures such as Thibaut Courtais, starting goalkeeper of Real Madrid and other LaLiga players. Now, the presenter from Bilbao is raising the ante and with the soccer league stopped by the coronavirus crisis, he has launched the proposal to hold an online FIFA 20 tournament in which the players themselves participate as representatives of their teams, a kind of tournament virtual to compensate for the lack of real football. The tournament would have sports narrators from their homes and what was generated would go to charitable causes.
Players are already prepared
Would you like a FIFA tournament among the top 20 teams?
We are looking for a footballer from each club, like Sevilla-Betis yesterday but with all the teams
You could also call soccer narrators for comment. And we donate everything generated in streaming.

Several players from the professional soccer league have already volunteered, with amusing anecdotes such as the "pique" between Marcos Asensio and Courtais, both Madrid players, who have agreed to play a pre-qualifying game to see who represents Real Madrid . Several second division players who want to participate in some way have also appeared. Even players from other international leagues, such as Achraf Hakimi, currently on loan to Borussia Dortmund, have asked to organize a similar tournament with the Bundesliga.
The seed of the initiative comes from the Sevilla-Betis match that Ibai himself organized last weekend, in which Sergio Reguilón for Sevilla and Borja Iglesias for Betis met in FIFA 20 with their respective teams instead of doing it in the derby that was planned in the Seville capital. The meeting, broadcast on Twitch and narrated by Ibai himself, reached an impressive peak of 60,000 spectators watching the game at once, who could see how Betis took the game with a "golden goal" in the discount to leave the game 5-6. Given the success, it is not surprising that something even more ambitious is sought in these times in which the ball cannot run on the grass.
