Intercontinental Legends Championship 2025 Teams
The Intercontinental Legends Championship 2025 has six franchise-based participants. There are two Asian teams in the tournament, headed by the Kings and the Warriors. The remaining teams are each representing a single continent, except for the Trans Titans.
The Titans franchise is representing more than a single continent, hence the name, the Trans Titans. It stands for Transcontinental Titans, as per my speculation, which, in my opinion, is very accurate.
- Asian Kings
- African Lions
- American Strikers
- Indian Warriors
- Euro Gladiators
- Trans Titans
