Neymar Jr. is the new Global Ambassador for Horse Team/Campline Horses
Brazilian soccer player Neymar Jr. is taking his passion for the sport and for Brazil to the next level by joining forces with the Portuguese business group Horse Team/Campline Horses, a leading name in the equestrian world and in the preservation of the Lusitano Thoroughbred. The partnership was officially announced today, marking a historic moment, as it is the first time a global soccer star has supported the development of an equestrian sport at the global level.
Neymar Jr., renowned for his talent and recently signed by Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia, is expanding his athletic and social impact beyond the soccer field by serving as a sponsor for the Brazilian National Dressage Team—composed of João Marcari Oliva/Escorial and Renderson Oliveira/Fogoso—which will compete in the Pan American Games in Chile this October.
Horse Team/Campline Horses’ first Global Ambassador, Neymar Jr., brings his joy, charisma, and excellence to the equestrian world, as he demonstrated last week when he visited Portugal to tour the Horse Team/Campline Horses Equestrian Center, in Santo Estevão, Benavente, to film the advertising campaign that will soon highlight the connection between Olympic champion Neymar Jr. and the Olympic athletes of Horse Team/Campline Horses.
Expressing his enthusiasm for this new initiative, Neymar Jr. says:
“I’m very happy to join the Horse Team/Campline Horses family, and even happier to meet João Marcari Oliva and Renderson Oliveira, for everything they’ve done to take Brazil to the top of equestrian sports. I’ve always been very curious to learn more about horses, and I’m eager to learn more from them as we celebrate the victories to come. This partnership isn’t just about sports—it’s also about the values we share: teamwork, advocating for equality, protecting animals and nature, and, of course, our love for Brazil.”
The Horse Team/Campline Horses Group, the exclusive owner of the two Olympic Lusitano Thoroughbreds (Escorial and Fogoso) and hundreds of their offspring, is equally confident in this partnership, under which NN Consultoria and Neymar Santos, the soccer player’s father, will serve as the exclusive commercial representatives for Horse Team/Campline Horses in Latin America.
“Having Neymar Jr. as our Global Ambassador is an extraordinary step and a huge responsibility, given everything he represents in the world of sports. As we had the opportunity to witness in Santo Estevão last week—where he made a point of going— despite the major life change he was undergoing by moving to Saudi Arabia, we believe this partnership will inspire a wider audience to appreciate the talent, beauty, and values of dressage, while promoting Portugal as a tourist destination with a rich equestrian tradition.”, says Rui Hortelão, CEO of the Horse Team/Campline Horses Group.
The partnership between NR Sports and Horse Team/Campline Horses represents a dynamic and convergent fusion of two distinct worlds, now united by a passion and commitment to bringing people together on a global scale. As a result, several community engagement initiatives and educational programs aimed at the younger generations are planned, thereby connecting the worlds of soccer and equestrian sports.
