Dutch football legend and former Manchester United striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy has become the newest ambassador for Singapore-based online betting site, Winbig7.
The deal was announced on September 2, 2021, and will see Van Nistelrooy take up a special role as an “ambassador” for the betting site in Asia. He will be featured heavily across all of Winbig7’s social media channels such as Facebook and Instagram to promote their services, including sports betting, casino games, lottery, and live scores for football matches.
This is just one of many sponsorship deals that Ruud Van Nistelrooy has managed to secure during his illustrious professional football career.
“I am very happy that I have found a new sponsor who is willing to help me grow my digital footprint,” said Van Nistelrooy in response to signing with Winbig7.
This latest venture will see him undertake a three-year contract that sees him represent the brand at all international events before becoming a major shareholder of the company once his contract expires.
Though he retired from football in 2011, Ruud Van Nistelrooy still keeps close watch of country’s national team and is currently the third-highest goalscorer of all time for Holland. Apart from being one of the most well-known players across Europe, he also played with impressive stats for Manchester United and Real Madrid during his career, which catapulted him as one of the greatest players in English and Spanish League Football.
According to Kelvin Ho, Media Director of Winbig7, “Ruud is an icon for sportsmanship, a true leader and his personality fits well with our brand.” He continued by saying that they are very pleased to have him on board as he is one of the most popular footballers in Asia.
Winbig 7 hopes to give themselves more exposure in European markets by signing Van Nistelrooy. They are confident that his iconic status as a football star will bring them more customers from across Europe and Asia alike. As well as this, they also hope that his stature as a sports icon will help them reach their goals of becoming one of the top sports betting companies across the globe.
