Soccer Legend Arturo Vidal Joins GGPoker as Their Newest Ambassador

Arturo Vidal: From the Field to the Felt

 A Chilean midfielder, Vidal began his career in Colo-Colo, a Chilean club to which he ultimately returned in 2024.

In the years in-between, Vidal came to be know as “El Rey”, playing in coveted European clubs, including Juventus, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, ​​and Inter Milan. He managed to secure three consecutive Bundesliga titles playing with Bayern Munich, while simultaneously being part of the “Golden Generation” of Chilean football.

While he’s been a star on the soccer field for more than a decade, Vidal has crossed paths with the poker felt more than a couple of times over the years. The two-time Copa América winner, took part in an €25,000 EPT tournament with Gerard Piqué in 2019, walking away with a respectable fifth place and £122,000.

The newly announced partnership with GGPoker isn’t Vidal’s first time around the ambassador block either, as he’s also served as the face of Estelarbet in 2024. Last April, the soccer star also ventured out on his own, launching his own online gaming platform Juego con el King.

Putting all this together, we’d expect nothing more that a successful partnership between Vidal and GGPoker, as the room continues its Latin America expansion in 2026.
