The Champions League final took place this past Saturday, and a slew of stars were in London for the festivities. Jay-Z watched Real Madrid vs. Borussia Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League final, the biggest match in the European soccer calendar, on Saturday. With goals from Brazilian sensation Vinicius Jr. and seasoned defender Dani Carvajal, Madrid defeated the opposition 2-0 to win the Champions League for the record 15th time. The 23-year-old Brazilian is etching his name along with the greats and rubbing shoulders with one of the greatest rappers of all time, Jay-Z.

Prior to the game, Jay-Z was spotted dapping up Vini, who is signed under Jay-Z’s Roc Nation Sports organization, and waving to the fans as he made his way to his seat along the touchline. The highlight of Hov’s evening, though, was when he took a photo with the Real Madrid striker following the final whistle, making sure to flaunt his freshly acquired winner’s medal to the camera. In the picture, a number of others were there, including Jay Brown and “OG Juan” Perez, two of Jigga’s longstanding business associates and pals.

Following Roc Nation Sports’ acquisition of Brazilian soccer agency TFM Agency in July 2023, Vinicius Jr. joined the organization. “In terms of football, Brazil is the center of it all,” Perez, president of Roc Nation Sports, said in a statement at the time. He continued, “I strongly identify with a culture that has such an incredible passion for sport and music. Our influence in this game is growing, and this move shows our intentions to the world.” Vinicius Jr. and Jay-Z earlier shared a photo on social media in May 2023, with the soccer player captioning it as “LEGEND.”

Roc Nation Sports boasts probably the best footballer next to Kylian Mbappéin the world, Vinicius Jr. The French superstar, Mbappe, will join Vini in Madrid next year, so there is a real possibility they will be back in the Champions League Final again. If they win again next year, hopefully, Jay-Z will be in attendance. Overall, it is pretty cool seeing Jay-Z involved in the wider world of soccer.

Roc Nation Sports International (RNSI) is making a significant move into the South American football market with the launch of Roc Nation Sports Brazil. This expansion is made possible by acquiring TFM Agency, a prestigious Brazilian football agency based in São Paulo.

TFM Agency currently represents over 100 footballers, including the renowned Vinicius Jr, who plays for Real Madrid and Brazil. With the integration of TFM into Roc Nation Sports Brazil, these talented athletes will now receive the same high-level service enjoyed by stars like Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, and Federico Dimarco under RNSI.

Frederico Pena, founder of TFM Agency, will assume the role of President of Roc Nation Sports Brazil. His partners Marcos Casseb, Lucas Mineiro, Renato Martinez, Octavio Rigoni, and Thiago Freitas will join him.

“In terms of football, Brazil is the center of it all,” says Juan Perez, President and Founder of Roc Nation Sports. “I strongly identify with a culture that has such an incredible passion for sport and music. Our influence in this game is growing and this move shows our intentions to the world.”

“By introducing a full-service sports representation service to South America, we are providing a level of service that has never before existed in this market, and one that our players truly deserve,” added Frederico Pena. “Roc Nation embodies the pinnacle of culture, sports, and entertainment. It made perfect sense to join Roc Nation, elevate our operations, and provide our athletes with comprehensive, global representation.”

Michael Yormark, President of Roc Nation Sports International, added: “It fills me with pride to finally announce our expansion into Brazil. When we started this venture in 2019, I had a lot of ambitions for RNSI. Since then, we’ve grown across Europe, South Africa & the US. This marks a continuation of what we are building here at Roc Nation; ‘Best in Class’ representation for some of the greatest athletes in the world. I’m also super excited that Alan Redmond, our EVP & Global Head of Football will be working closely with Fred Pena and his team to grow our football business worldwide.”

With this strategic acquisition, Roc Nation Sports International continues its global expansion plans to revolutionize sports representation in new and diverse markets as they move forward in 2023 and beyond.
