Cristiano Ronaldo Launches YouTube Channel “UR,” Quickly Breaks Records

Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the most iconic figures in sports history and the most followed person on social media with an astounding 917 million followers, is taking his influence to a new platform by launching his own YouTube channel. Known for his unparalleled achievements on the soccer field, Ronaldo’s new venture, titled “UR,” promises to offer fans a deeper look into his life beyond the game. This channel will feature not only discussions about his greatest passion, soccer, but also insights into his personal interests like family, wellness, nutrition, and business. As Ronaldo continues to break records on and off the field, his YouTube channel is set to become a major hub for fans eager to connect with the superstar on a more personal level.

A New Platform for Personal Insights

The channel, aptly named “UR,” debuted on Wednesday and is set to provide fans with an unprecedented glimpse into Ronaldo’s life. While soccer will naturally be a focal point, the 39-year-old, who currently captains both Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia and the Portuguese national team, will also delve into his other passions. These include family, wellness, nutrition, preparation, recovery, education, and business. The channel will also feature Ronaldo engaging in conversations with various guests, offering a broader perspective on his life beyond the pitch.

Breaking Records on YouTube

Despite his success across social media, Ronaldo is not yet the most followed person on YouTube—a title currently held by MrBeast, who has 311 million subscribers. However, Ronaldo’s meteoric rise on the platform suggests that he could soon challenge that position. In just 1 hour and 29 minutes after launching “UR,” the channel surpassed 1 million subscribers, becoming the fastest in history to hit that milestone and giving Ronaldo yet another record. Within two days of its launch, “UR” had accumulated over 30 million subscribers, with one video already surpassing 10 million views.
