Lionel Messi Join the Esports Race with Ownership of KRU ESPORTS

Legendary footballer Lionel Messi has decided to venture into the world of esports. The Argentinian football star, who needs no introduction to the world of sports, has recently taken on the role of co-owner at the emerging esports organization KRÜ Esports.

Founded in late 2020 by footballer Sergio Aguero, KRÜ Esports swiftly made its mark within the esports circuit. Aguero, a notable figure from Argentinian and European football clubs such as FC Barcelona and Manchester City, laid the foundation for this venture.

They initially entered popular esports titles like Valorant and Rocket League but also showed their desire to venture into other esports and will soon enter other esports.

The inclusion of Lionel Messi as a co-owner in KRÜ Esports marks a key moment in the organization’s evolution. Having observed Aguero’s interest in esports since his foray into streaming during the 2019 COVID lockdowns, the decision to welcome Messi onboard embodies a shared vision for the future of the esports landscape.

Aguero expressed his elation, stating,

“I’m thrilled to share this club with Leo, on a new chapter together, embracing fresh challenges. Having him on board at KRÜ is a true honor. Not is he hailed as the greatest footballer in history, but he’s also a dear friend. His presence is an inspiration for all, and it will undoubtedly elevate the entire esports scene.”

Meanwhile, Aguero also squashed the rumors of his leaving the organization. Aguero gracefully assumed the role of co-owner alongside Messi.

Reactions from Industry

After this big surprise, it is obvious to get reactions from the industry. With the big name joining the esports scene it is obvious to call for more stars to join the party.

David de Gea, founder and president of Rebels Gaming, after hearing that Lionel Messi became a co-owner of Sergio Aguero’s KRÜ Esports gave his reaction. David de Gea said, “I’m calling Cristiano.”

It’s obviously a joke but esports fans definitely love to see Cristiano Ronaldo Join the esports team, and fans can see this Messi vs Ronaldo rivalry continue outside the football field.
