Less than three hours after Cristiano Ronaldo launched his new YouTube channel, “UR”, over two million subscribers have been amassed.
The “UR” channel was launched to bring a variety of content, all focused on an intimate look into Ronaldo’s life beyond his celebrated football career.
Viewers can expect to see content related to soccer, personal wellness, nutrition, family life, and more. Ronaldo aims to enable a closer connection with his global fanbase by sharing exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpses and personal insights.
“I am very happy to make this project come to life,” Ronaldo said. “It has been in my mind for a long time but finally we have the opportunity to make it real.
“I have always enjoyed having such a strong relationship with fans on social media and my YouTube channel will give me an even bigger platform to do so and they will learn more about me, my family, and my views on many different subjects. I am also looking forward to sharing conversations with guests that will no doubt surprise people!”
The quick rise of the “UR” channel is commendable as Ronaldo has a huge influence and a strong bond he maintains with his fans.
Being the most followed individual across social media platforms, with a combined total nearing 917 million followers, Ronaldo has a huge digital presence.
The Portuguese professional footballer is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time. Born on February 5, 1985, he has had an outstanding career with major clubs such as Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Al Nassr.
Ronaldo is known for his exceptional goal-scoring ability, athleticism, and versatility on the field. He has won numerous awards, including five Ballon d’Or titles, given to the world’s best player, and has set multiple records, including the most goals in the UEFA Champions League and the European Championship.
Ronaldo has also achieved notable success with his national team, Portugal, winning the UEFA Euro 2016 and the 2019 UEFA Nations League.
His latest channel is expected to further enhance his online visibility and influence.
The debut video on the new channel, which details Ronaldo’s motivations and future plans for UR, has already attracted millions of views and a flood of comments from enthusiastic supporters worldwide.
Despite Ronaldo’s outstanding digital following, which is unique due to the short time subscribers reached a million, he still trails behind MrBeast, the current leader in YouTube subscriptions with 311 million followers.
Nonetheless, UR channel’s rise means that he may soon challenge this position, adding yet another accolade to his illustrious career.
