Vinicius Junior has his own club in Brazil: "Real" star's new project
Real Madrid and Brazil national team star forward Vinicius Junior has opened a new chapter in his entrepreneurial activities. The 24-year-old footballer has expanded his investments in the sports sector by purchasing a football club in his homeland.
According to the famous French publication "Foot Mercato," Vinicius has become the new owner of the "Atletico" club located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil. This team participates in the B Series, which is the second division of the country's football. The financial details of the agreement between the parties have not yet been disclosed.
The "Atletico" club of San Juan del Rey has a long history, having been established in 1909. The club's achievements are currently quite modest: in 2023, they won the Minas Gerais state Super Cup, which is their first and only trophy in history so far. At the same time, the club is set to compete in Brazil's B Series for the first time in 2025.
This investment by Vinicius Junior is not his first step in sports entrepreneurship. It has been revealed that the "Real Madrid" star also owns a certain share of the "Alverka" club, which participates in Portugal's second division. Through such decisions, Vinicius aims to elevate his name not only as a player but also in the business field.
Vinicius's projects serve as a clear example of renowned footballers in European football investing in the development of sports in their home countries. His initiative could contribute to the financial and sporting growth of the "Atletico" club.
The editorial team of Zamin.uz will continue to inform its readers about interesting news in the world of football, particularly regarding the off-field activities of star players. How will Vinicius Junior's new project impact the future of Brazilian football? Time will tell.
