Grenade has been named the official protein partner for the all-new influencer-led Baller League UK.
Set to kick off on Monday, March 24, Baller League is a six-a-side competition taking place at Stratford’s Copper Box Arena.
Spearheaded by KSI as president—following his successful Wembley sellout with the Sidemen Charity Match—the league boasts a star-studded lineup of ex-professional footballers and YouTube stars.
Football legends John Terry, Luis Figo, and Gary Lineker will make their return to the game as managers. They’ll be joined in the dugout by celebrity names such as Maya Jama, Miniminter, and TBJZL.
A total of 12 teams will compete for the Baller League crown. The first of six back-to-back contests on matchday one sees Angry Ginge’s Yanited face off against N5 FC—managed by former Arsenal Invincibles trio Jens Lehmann, Robert Pires, and Freddie Ljungberg.
Grenade: Fuelling the Baller League
Fuelling a new era of football, Grenade will be pitch-side, dishing out free protein treats to players and spectators throughout the tournament.
The creator of the nation’s favourite protein bar will remain a fixture until Final Four Day on June 11, which marks the end of the inaugural season.
All the action from Baller League will be streamed live on Sky Sports, hosted by Chunkz and Olivia Buzaglo.
