It’s official: Toni Kroos announces his return | OneFootball

Seven months after his retirement, Toni Kroos has announced his return to the playing field, news that has taken the football world by surprise. The footballer will play in the ‘Icon League‘.

Toni Kroos, with an enviable resume, left professional football last summer after being eliminated from the European Championship with Germany and lifting his fifth Champions League against Borussia Dortmund. Beyond the titles he has won, Toni Kroos has gone down in history as one of the best midfielders in football and has left a huge void in the midfield of Real Madrid, who have not yet been able to recover from the loss of the German footballer.

Toni Kroos and his participation in the Icon League

The Icon League is the name given to a five-a-side football competition that brings together the greats of the sport. With its official headquarters in the Castello in Düsseldorf, the league has seven teams and a total of 13 match days. The new season will start on March 10th and features some of the biggest stars of German football.

The names that have been confirmed in the league are as follows: Robert Andrich and Antonio Rüdiger have been confirmed in the league, and there are also some former Bayern Munich players, such as Franck Ribéry and David Alaba. There will also be representation from other sports with Leon Draisaitl, a hockey player, and the well-known German commentator Wolff Fuss.

The announcement of Kroos’ return was made through a post on the Icon League’s official Instagram account. The image in the post shows Kroos looking at his iconic Adidas boot, and is accompanied by the text “One more dance”; a clear reference to the mass of fans hoping to see their idol again.

Which team will Toni Kroos play for?

With all the expectation that his return has generated, it has not yet been revealed which of the teams that took part in the first edition of the Icon League Kroos will be playing for. In the first edition of the league, the German midfielder was part of “B2B United”, but it is not known whether he will be repeating with this club or changing teams.

Kroos’ return to the playing fields is great news for all sports fans, even if it is a different definition to football. The quality and vision of work of this caliber do not disappear and his presence will surely attract many people when the Icon League begins.

Kroos’ return to the playing fields, albeit in a format that is not football as we know it, is great news for following the sport. His quality and vision of the game, in perfect condition, will bring a multitude of fans to the Icon League.

Unfortunately, we will always be able to enjoy the quality of the midfielder in this new competition, but thanks to this new competition we will once again be able to see one of the best midfielders that world football has produced in recent times.
