The athlete will create exclusive content for Triller, a new video-creation platform
Brazilian soccer sensation Neymar is inviting his fans to join him on the Triller platform. In a surprise video posted on Wednesday (18), Neymar Jr. appeared alongside global icon Marshmello to announce his switch to the new platform. The athlete has attracted more than 8 million followers on TikTok, but Neymar will be leaving the platform entirely and asking his fans to do the same. As a Triller ambassador, Neymar will post new and exciting content exclusively on Triller, bringing his 143 million Instagram followers to the Triller app.

The partnership marks the latest development in Triller's long-standing strategy to attract new audiences, as the market for short-form videos continues to grow. With some of TikTok's biggest creators migrating to Triller, its more user-friendly interface continues to attract mega-influencers.
With a total of just over 200 million followers across social media, he is undoubtedly one of the most famous athletes, which led to his inclusion on *Time* magazine’s list of the 100 Most Influential People in the World.
“Triller’s diversity, visual culture, and influence on pop culture are unmatched. I’m proud to announce that I’m joining the Triller family and leaving TikTok for good. See you on Triller,” said Neymar Jr.
“Neymar’s enthusiasm about joining Triller as an ambassador reflects the versatility of our app. Triller is multifaceted, and we’re eager to see what Neymar’s addition to the Triller family will reveal about how our platform can be used to connect different groups of people with a wide variety of interests,” said Triller CEO Mike Lu.
“I’m proud to bring top-level soccer to my community on the platform as an ambassador. It didn’t take long for me to realize that Triller is the best app on the market for this type of content, and I wanted to contribute to its meteoric growth as it becomes one of the most popular apps in the world,” said Neymar Jr.
