After bringing together more than a million people live on the Twitch platform and 20,000 spectators in a stadium in Paris in November 2022, the France-Spain match, a real football match between internet celebrities, will have a return leg in Madrid on October 12, its founder announced on Sunday.

Organized by the "streamer" AmineMaTue (2.8 million followers on Twitch), the first match won 2-0 by France pitted many French and Spanish content creators with millions of subscribers on social networks against each other.

The return match will be held at the Atlético Madrid stadium, which has a capacity of over 70,000 people, AmineMaTue said on his social networks, where he broadcast a trailer featuring Zinédine Zidane.

This event is part of the trend of large-scale physical competitions organized between content creators, generating record audiences, well beyond the world of "gaming", like the GP Explorer.

This car race launched by Squeezie (19 million subscribers on YouTube), which saw around twenty content creators compete in Formula 4 cars on the circuit last September Le Mans, recorded a record audience with a peak of more than 1.3 million people for its second edition.
