Leon Draisaitl makes a major investment into a new German soccer club
Today news has broken that Leon Draisaitl is adventuring into a brand new sport this summer he has reportedly invested in a new German soccer club league.
This afternoon reports are confirming that Leon Draisaitl is putting his contract to good use investing in a new sports club. According to the reports a new German soccer league called the Icon League is beginning. The league is put together by German influencer Elias Nervlich and former German soccer superstar Toni Kroos.
The Indoor-Soccer-League called Icon-League was founded by Elias Nerlich (EliasN97) one of the biggest, if not THE biggest content creator in Germany and Toni Kroos, one of the greatest german soccer players of all time.
Leon Draisaitl is of course from Germany and had a background playing soccer before he took the leap into hockey. This led to a natural connection between the new soccer league and the Edmonton Oilers superstar.
Leon Draisaitl reportedly involved in new German Soccer League
According to the announcement this new league will feature 14 teams in total across Germany. At the moment it is unclear exactly how involved Leon Draisaitl will be as a partial investor in a franchise.
There are 14 Teams represented by their Teamheads. Those are Soccerplayer, former Soccerplayer, Rapper, Content-creator and other celebrities known in germany. Most known might be David Alaba, Franck Ribery and Luciano. The League will start on September, 1st in the LanXess Arena, the home of the Cologne Sharks. Every team has 13 games and will collect 3 points per win. The Finals will be in the brand-new SAP Garden in Munich. The games will be Live-streamed on Twitch. Most likely at 7 or 8pm CET. That's all we got so far.
Of course, Leon Draisaitl is in for a major payday in the near future from the Edmonton Oilers. With that on the horizon, this investment seems like something fun for Leon Draisaitl to get involved in while being connected to his home country. As the league gets up and running it'll be fascinating to see how much Leon Draisaitl can be involved.
