Messi co-owns KRÜ Esports, marking a new gaming era
Lionel Messi has expanded his involvement in the esports world by becoming a co-owner of Kru Esports, a prominent organization. This move reflects Messi's growing interest in the gaming industry, marking a significant step in the convergence of sports and esports.
Lionel Messi, who recently secured his eighth Ballon d'Or and led his country to a historic second World Cup title, is once again making headlines. This time, he's making waves in the global esports scene. On November 7, Sergio Aguero, co-owner of KRÜ Esports, announced Messi's entry into the gaming world. The former Manchester City and Argentina forward, now sharing ownership with Messi, emphasized the shift in dynamics, stating, "I am not the sole owner of KRÜ anymore; there are two of us," setting the stage for an exciting collaboration.
In a captivating moment captured on camera, Messi casually chimed in with, "Ok, let's play." This development is intriguing, especially considering Aguero's own early involvement in esports, as he founded KRÜ in late 2020 during his playing days at Manchester City.
