Rivaldo joins Asaa88 as group’s brand ambassador

Former professional Brazilian footballer Rivaldo Vitor Borba Ferreira has been named the Group's first brand ambassador by Asaa88, one of Asia's biggest online gaming companies. The agreement grants Asaa88 advertising rights to Rivaldo for the entirety of the firm's advertising and marketing campaigns in Asia, throughout which he will present across its major businesses.

The partnership with Rivaldo strengthens Asaa88's core values, representing the company's commitment and dedication to expanding the brand's appearance and positioning it as the top gaming destination for all Asian players.

A World Cup champion with Brazil, Rivaldo is regarded as one of the greatest football players of all time. He was a skilled dribbler, feint user, free kick bender, penalty taker, and overhead kicker who scored a lot of goals. He was primarily left-footed, but he could play on either thigh and strike the ball with both feet.

"I'm excited to start this collaboration with Asaa88 because they express my great love of football, and I'm looking forward to playing a role in their many plans to publicise the company to current and future players across Asia," Rivaldo said.
