Legendary footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has made headlines once again, this time for shattering the record for the fastest channel to reach one million subscribers on YouTube.
Launched on August 21, 2024, Ronaldo’s channel amassed an astonishing 1 million subscribers in just 90 minutes, surpassing the previous record held by other high-profile content creators.
Ronaldo announced the launch of his YouTube channel through his social media platforms, where he has a massive following. The YouTube channel name of Ronaldo is “UR. Cristiano”.
His initial post excited fans, inviting them to subscribe and join him on this new journey. “The wait is over. My @YouTube channel is finally here! SIUUUbscribe and join me on this new journey,” he posted, generating immense anticipation among his followers.
Within just 55 minutes of the launch, Ronaldo had already secured 100,000 subscribers, and the numbers continued to climb rapidly.
By the end of the day, his channel had surpassed 12.7 million subscribers, showcasing the immense popularity and influence he holds across various platforms.
Ronaldo’s YouTube channel aims to provide fans with a glimpse into his life beyond the football pitch. The content will explore various themes, including soccer, family, health, nutrition, training, recovery, education, and entrepreneurship.
His first videos include personal anecdotes and insights, such as a fun game with his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, and discussions on topics like NFL vs. NBA and boxing vs. UFC.
The launch of Ronaldo’s channel has reignited the ongoing debate between him and fellow footballer Lionel Messi. While Messi has had a YouTube channel since September 2021, he has only uploaded a single video, which has resulted in a significantly lower subscriber count.
As of now, Ronaldo’s channel has outpaced Messi’s, further fueling the rivalry between the two football icons.
At 39 years old, Ronaldo is in the twilight of his illustrious football career, currently playing for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League.
As he approaches retirement, his foray into content creation is seen as a strategic move to engage with fans and explore new business opportunities.
With his impressive physical fitness and enduring popularity, Ronaldo’s YouTube channel is expected to grow exponentially as he shares more of his life and experiences.
