Cristiano Ronaldo, renowned as the most followed individual on social media with a staggering 917 million followers across multiple platforms, is venturing into the world of YouTube with the launch of his channel, “UR.” This exciting new platform debuts on Wednesday and promises to showcase more than just Ronaldo’s legendary soccer skills.
At 39 years old, Ronaldo, who currently leads Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia and the Portuguese national team, aims to share his “greatest passion”—soccer—while diving into a variety of other topics that are close to his heart. According to the official announcement, viewers can expect discussions about family, wellness, nutrition, preparation, recovery, education, business, and much more. Ronaldo will also host conversations with a range of guests, offering fans unique insights into his life.
“I am very happy to make this project come to life,” Ronaldo expressed. “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. 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!”
With a remarkable career spanning over two decades at iconic clubs such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, Ronaldo has amassed an impressive trophy cabinet that includes 33 titles, five UEFA Champions League victories, five Ballon d’Or awards, and a record three UEFA Men’s Player of the Year Awards. He holds records for the most appearances, goals, and assists in both the Champions League and the European Championship, in addition to being the all-time leading goal scorer with over 890 official senior career goals for club and country.
Despite his monumental social media presence, Ronaldo is not yet the most followed person on YouTube—currently, that title belongs to MrBeast, with 311 million subscribers. However, it won’t be long before Ronaldo catches up. Within just 2 hours of its launch, his YouTube channel achieved a historic milestone by surpassing 3 millions subscribers, making it the fastest channel to reach this landmark and adding another record to Ronaldo’s illustrious achievements.
