KRÜ Esports might have already have been actively ran by one football legend, but an even bigger name has just signed on as co-owner. Messi will be joining as a co-owner of KRÜ Esports, adding another giant of the traditional sporting world to the team. In a shocking announcement, the player will take an active role after buying into the org.

The org, formed in 2010, is particularly active in Valorant esports with current owner Sergio Agüero. This recent news brings another major name in football to the team though. This gives KRÜ Esports a particularly unique designation, being owned by one of the biggest icons in all of sporting history.

Messi Joins Kru Esports as Co-Owner

Kru Esports has had speculation over its ownership in recent months. Some believed that the current CEO and original founder of the org, Sergio Agüero was going to take a less active role in the team. However, instead we’ve learnt they’re adding another major name to the masthead. After ominously tweeting just messi just a few days ago, the org has made it official. The football icon has bought into KRÜ Esports as a co-owner.

KRÜ are one of the leading Argentinian esports orgs, especially with their Valorant squad. This lines it up perfectly for Messi’s involvement. KRÜ isn’t the only org with a traditional sports star on their board. Although, being co-owned by two huge names in football definitely elevates them.

Messi is already ranked as one of the best footballers to ever play. This new move into esports marks a different chapter for the player, helping to build an org out in a developing area of sport. We can expect big things from the new KRÜ co-owned by both Messi and Sergio Argüero.
