Luís Figo is Football-Stars’ New Brand Ambassador
Stryking signs Portuguese football legend to represent its innovative fantasy football platform.
Stryking Entertainment GmbH is excited to announce that it has signed Ballon d’Or winner and former FIFA World Footballer of the Year, Mr Luís Figo, as brand ambassador for their platform Football-Stars. Luís Figo will support Stryking with his football business network and actively engage with Football-Stars’ users in in-game challenges and other activities.
Dirk Weyel, Founder and CEO of Stryking, stated that Figo’s endorsement marks a significant milestone in Football-Stars growth in popularity. “As passionate football fans ourselves, the partnership with Luís Figo is not just a dream come true; it’s a testament to how we’ve grown from a small team of football and tech enthusiasts to planning the introduction of our own crypto token STRYKZ”, said Weyel. “Taking the multi-billion dollar North-American Fantasy Sports market as a role model, we can clearly see the business potential Fantasy Sports offers to fans, brands and athletes. We are both thrilled and honoured to announce Luís Figo as our first major endorsee and active advisor; with which we hope to propel the growth of Football-Stars on the global stage.”
Luís Figo, Ballon d’Or winner and UEFA ambassador, will support Stryking in their efforts to promote Football-Stars and find more partners to cooperate within the football industry. With his extended network Figo’s role as a brand ambassador is decisive for the further development of Football-Stars. “When I heard about Football-Stars for the first time I immediately liked the idea. Football becomes more and more data driven with detailed statistics about all aspects of the game — this is what Stryking’s platform utilizes to create a compelling fan experience. I am happy to support the passionate people at Stryking and spread the word about their platform that allows fans to engage with the teams and players they are backing. With the upcoming Token Sale Event, Stryking will scale tremendously and I am excited to be part of this journey”, said Figo.
Figo’s endorsement is the second major announcement which Stryking has made in 2018. In January, the company announced plans to introduce their own cryptocurrency — the Ethereum-based utility token STRYKZ. Through the offering, Stryking will open Football-Stars to create a community-driven platform. Users will be rewarded STRYKZ by contributing to the overall in-game experience and growth of Football-Stars, and they can spend the tokens to experience special functionalities or unlock features such as exclusive access to the platform’s VIP club.
Luís Figo will furthermore support Stryking’s upcoming Token Sale Event with his experience and his connections in the football industry. While the private pre-sale with special conditions for early contributors has already started, the official STRYKZ Token Sale Event will launch within the next months.

The partnership between Luís Figo and Stryking was initiated by Heissam Hartmann, Stryking’s business advisor and Founder of Passiontainment. “I am happy that I could bring Stryking and Luís Figo together. It is always exciting connecting influencers and startups that share the same passion, so they can create new ventures both sides believe in”, said Hartmann.
