Aurélien Tchouaméni joins Kings League France project after World Cup heartbreak

Aurélien Tchouaméni has teamed up with Jules Koundé, Mike Maignan and Manu Koné to front **360 Nation**, the breakout Kings League France club that became a social-media phenomenon in April-May 2025.

What is 360 Nation?

360 Nation is one of eight clubs in the Kings League France, a seven-a-side competition that ran from April to May 2025. The league swapped classic 11-a-side rules for wild twists-jokers, sudden-death shoot-outs and rule changes mid-game-all designed for bite-sized streaming. The project is led by four France internationals, including **Aurélien Tchouaméni**, who serve as club presidents.

Why Aurélien Tchouaméni matters here

Tchouaméni’s involvement gives the Kings League France instant credibility. After France’s painful World Cup semi-final defeat to Spain on 15 December 2025, the midfielder and his teammates turned to off-pitch ventures to lift fans’ spirits. Their club, 360 Nation, sits at the heart of that effort.

How the league exploded online

The numbers tell the story. In its debut season, Kings League France racked up 969 million total views, 23.2 million fan interactions and €7.6 million in earned media value. Content creators like **AmineMaTue, Squeezie and Michou** faced off against the presidents, while matches streamed on Twitch via Zack Nani’s channel and on M6+.

What’s next for Aurélien Tchouaméni and 360 Nation?

The club has already proved the format’s pull. With France reeling from the World Cup exit, Tchouaméni and his co-owners aim to keep the momentum going-both on and off the pitch.
