FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HyperX, the gaming division of Kingston Technology Company Inc., today announced the signing of French professional soccer player Raphaël Varane as a HyperX Gaming Brand Ambassador. Varane plays for the French national team and won his fourth UEFA Champions League trophy in 2018 at 25 years old, making him the youngest player in history to win the competition four times.
When not on the pitch, Varane is an eager gamer, playing a variety of FPS and sporting games. With his signing, he joins the growing HyperX family of international ambassadors and devoted gamers such as German international soccer player, Marco Reus, Tottenham and England soccer player, Dele Alli, award-winning artist Post Malone, and legendary Twitch streamer, Shroud.
“I am thrilled to become part of the HyperX family and to join this amazing group of talented ambassadors. HyperX has some exciting projects planned for 2019, and it is great to be part of this brand and community,” said Varane. “Gaming is a part of my everyday life; it helps me disconnect when I’m not training or playing, and I’m excited I’m therefore thrilled to be representing a brand in this space with such quality products.”
As part of the deal signed with HyperX, Varane will be featured in a range of marketing and branding campaigns planned by the company for 2019 and 2020.
“With the recent announcement of Marco Reus as brand ambassador and now Raphaël Varane, the HyperX family continues to expand. We want to show that no matter which platform you use to game; mobile, PC or console, we are all gamers,” said Paul Leaman, vice president, HyperX EMEA. “This is just the beginning of 2019, with lots of announcements to come during this year, to help develop the HyperX brand and grow our business.”
