Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé has been named as an ambassador and investor for virtual football gaming platform Sorare, following in the footsteps of previous investors including Serena Williams and Rio Ferdinand, in a partnership which combines 'Mbappé's and Sorare's shared goals of unlocking a new era of sports fandom on and off the field and bringing a force for positive change to the global community'.

Mbappé commented 'Off the pitch, the most important thing for me is helping empower young people - who might not have access to the type of opportunities others have - to realise and fulfil their dreams and potential... I wanted to partner with an ambitious, global tech brand that would resonate with the young people whose dreams we're supporting. Sorare was the perfect fit'.
