However, since then, an increase in Ronaldo’s channel can be seen and in less than 24 hours so far, the Portuguese has gained more than 15 million subscribers.

“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.”

Ronaldo’s channel, “UR,” promises a rich mix of content, featuring discussions on his greatest passion, football, alongside topics such as family, wellness, nutrition, and business.

Viewers can also look forward to engaging in conversations with various guests, adding an extra layer of intrigue and excitement to the channel.

With a career decorated with 33 trophies, five UEFA Champions League titles, and a record number of goals and assists, Ronaldo's move to YouTube represents not just a new chapter in his career but a significant expansion of his digital presence.
