‘There is Simply No Bigger Sportsperson’
The agreement to see the five-time winner of football’s most prestigious individual award, Ballon d’Or, and one of the most famous footballers globally join its ranks is a significant step LiveScores made on its evolutionary path to becoming a major global sports media force.
“There is simply no bigger sportsperson — past or present — than Cristiano Ronaldo, who continues to captivate fans around the world with his brilliance on the pitch. With a world record 777 career goals and 31 club and international honours, we believe he truly is the ‘Greatest Of All Time’.”

Cristiano Ronaldo will become the Official Global Brand Ambassador of LiveScore starting this summer ahead of the upcoming UEFA European Championship and will represent the brand for at least 2 domestic football seasons, including the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
“Combined with the fact that his game is built on speed, reliability and simplicity, key strengths also synonymous with the LiveScore brand, there could be no more authentic and better fit for our business.”
