"NDL FC substituted on the mystery footballer, who adorned a mask and tights to obscure his identity, against N5 FC on Monday, October 27. The player, listed as 'Trialist Trialist' and wearing no. 14, took a free-kick for NDL and was immediately substituted off again. Since then, conventional football fans and those who regularly tune in to Baller League spectacles have debated who the mystery Premier League player could possibly be."
"The Baller League made headlines earlier this week when NDL FC fielded a supposed active Premier League player in the 6-a-side, indoor football competition. Hosted at the Copper Box Arena in Hackney, London, the Baller League is a concept which has been brought over to the United Kingdom from Germany, broadcast on Sky Sports and has struck a chord with a younger viewing demographic."
The Baller League is a 6-a-side indoor competition held at the Copper Box Arena in Hackney, London, imported from Germany and broadcast on Sky Sports, attracting a younger viewing demographic. Matches last 30 minutes with two 15-minute halves and often include random mid-game rule changes. Teams are managed by ex-professionals and online content creators using ex-academy prospects, recently-retired pros, and high-level semi-professional players. On October 27 NDL FC substituted on a masked mystery player listed as 'Trialist Trialist' wearing No.14, who took a free-kick and was immediately substituted off. The appearance prompted fan debate and raised concerns about clubs' reluctance to allow active players because of asset and injury risk.
