According to the Brazilian e-sports team LOUD, professional football star Vinicius Jr. has joined the squad as a co-owner.
The Real Madrid forward will collaborate with LOUD on new educational initiatives and video production, according to a press release. More precisely, LOUD will support initiatives run by the Vini Jr Institute, a group that provides educational resources to Brazilian children via a mobile application. Vinicius Jr. and the esports team will improve education for young children in the Brazilian region by introducing new materials.
However, Vinicius Jr. will create exclusive LOUD content for the team’s social media accounts. The Brazilian player is the ideal public figure and spokesperson for LOUD, which will enable it to “refocus on entertainment’s future generation.”
“Vini Jr. demonstrates how gaming culture is extending beyond screens and into fashion, sports, and even social causes,” stated Bruno Bittencourt, co-founder of LOUD. With our new brand, we will continue to create unique content, promote youth education, and seek out innovative approaches to improve communities throughout Brazil and Latin America. In order to continue motivating the upcoming generation of gamers, we are thrilled that Vini Jr. has joined the LOUD management group.
