Virgil van Dijk has been named a global brand ambassador and equity partner at Whoop, following in the footsteps of previous ambassadors including Rory McIlroy, Michael Phelps, and Beth Mead.

The Liverpool footballer commented ‘As a longtime Whoop member, this partnership makes perfect sense for me; every percentage of improvement that you can make ultimately benefits you, and Whoop is a tool that helps me take control of my health and be successful. Football seasons are always long, particularly in a World Cup year, so recovery will be even more crucial than ever’.
