“I’m really happy to have Facebook Gaming as a partner for my livestreams! Everyone knows that the world of gaming has always been one of my greatest passions after soccer, and I can’t wait to connect with everyone who shares that passion. I hope that everyone—including me—has a lot of fun,” Neymar Jr. reports

With more than 254 million followers on Facebook and Instagram, Neymar Jr. is now joining a community of thousands of game creators on Facebook Gaming, where he will also host monthly gameplay sessions with different creators.

“Neymar Jr is one of the biggest names in sports worldwide and an active member of the gaming community. On Facebook Gaming, Neymar Jr will have the chance to connect with fans from all over the world through gaming, and just like in soccer, the gaming world also brings people together across borders and languages. These possibilities and the support we provide to creators are what make Facebook Gaming special,” says William Pimenta, partnerships manager at Facebook Gaming.

Meta develops the best technologies to help millions of creators find communities, earn money, and grow their businesses on Facebook and Instagram, and game creators continue to thrive on Facebook Gaming. We’re announcing the joint streaming which allows all game creators to collaborate on their live streams, in addition to the partnership with the music industry, where creators—including those from Level Up—can livestream themselves playing popular songs from the catalog and Streamer Fan Groups, which serves as a space for creators and their communities to connect during and outside of live streams.
