Cristiano Ronaldo launches YouTube channel “UR,” quickly sets new milestone

Cristiano Ronaldo, widely regarded as one of the greatest soccer players of all time and the most followed individual on social media with a staggering 917 million followers across various platforms, is now stepping into the world of YouTube. The 39-year-old superstar, who currently captains both Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia and the Portuguese national team, has unveiled his own YouTube channel, aptly named “UR,” which launched on Wednesday.

Ronaldo’s new venture promises to offer fans a deeper look into his life beyond the pitch. While soccer remains his “greatest passion,” the channel will also explore his interests in family, wellness, nutrition, preparation, recovery, education, and business. Additionally, Ronaldo will engage in conversations with a variety of guests, bringing fresh perspectives and insights to his audience.

“I am very happy to make this project come to life,” Ronaldo shared. “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’s illustrious career, spanning over two decades, includes stints at iconic clubs such as Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus. His trophy cabinet boasts 33 titles, including five UEFA Champions League trophies and five Ballon d’Or awards. He also holds numerous records, including the most appearances, goals, and assists in both the Champions League and the European Championship, as well as the most international goals and appearances. With over 890 official senior career goals, Ronaldo stands as the top goalscorer in soccer history.

While Ronaldo is not yet the most followed person on YouTube—an honor currently held by MrBeast with 311 million subscribers—he’s already making waves on the platform. Just 1 hour and 29 minutes after the launch of “UR,” Ronaldo’s channel surpassed 1 million subscribers, setting a new record as the fastest channel to reach that milestone. This achievement adds yet another accolade to Ronaldo’s ever-growing list of records.
