On Variety, Ronaldo confirmed the launch of a YouTube channel for the first time after many years of saying no to the platform. He said the channel will be a place to discuss his “greatest passion” (football), according to the announcement, as well as “his other interests, including family, wellness, nutrition, preparation, recovery, education, and business.” It will also see Ronaldo chatting with various guests.
“I am very happy to make this project come to life,” said Ronaldo. “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!”
Ronaldo is currently the most followed person on social media with around 900 million followers across the platforms, including 633 million on Instagram, 170 million on Facebook and 112 million on X.
Ronaldo’s rival on the pitch, Lionel Messi, joined YouTube more than 10 years ago and currently has 2.26 million subscribers with 207 videos.
