“We are incredibly excited to expand Kru into such a dynamic sport as padel.
“Hexagon is a platform that is taking this sport to another level, and we’re here to compete and give our best.
“The names joining our team, including two outstanding Argentinians, speak for themselves,” Aguero said recently in a statement.
The Argentine striker has been very active as a streamer and in the eSports community, and is now expanding his business ventures to padel with Messi. The eight-time Ballon d’or winner continues to play for Inter Miami, but is slowly exploring avenues beyond football as well.
The Hexagon Cup will be held in January 2025, and will be played in Madrid, Spain. It remains to be seen how the sport grows, considering the sheer volume of celebrities that have taken to it over the past few years.
