Soccer Luis Enrique donates the 30,000 euros earned on Twitch during the World Cup to a foundation against childhood cancer
Luis Enrique
, PSG coach, announced his "return" this Thursday to the
streaming
platform Twitch for
a question-answer session
with Internet users.
The Asturian already had a first experience,
much talked about,
when he was the Spain coach and during the World Cup in Qatar he logged on daily to talk to his subscribers.
"The return, Twitch 2," says Luis Enrique, who arrived on the PSG bench in the middle of last year, in a video published on Twitter.
"I inform you that on Thursday, March 21 at 8:00 p.m. I will return to Twitch, as always on my channel," he declared.
As he himself detailed, for this appointment he wants to talk about a "family project", before "spontaneous contact" with Internet users,
"without filters, directly
. "
During the 2022 World Cup, when he was Spain's coach, he had a
daily appointment with his hundreds of thousands of subscribers
[currently his channel has almost 800,000] to speak live and answer questions on topics that were not only limited to football.
Spain was eliminated by Morocco in the round of 16 and two days later Luis Enrique was fired.
His first adventure on Twitch also ended then.
Donation
The former coach published a document on social networks this Friday in which he certifies the
donation of the benefits
reaped from his Twitch channel during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar to the Enriqueta Villavecchia Children's Cancer Foundation.
"When you start a stream
channel
on Twitch you sign a
standard contract with the platform
(in our case 50% for them and 50% for me). I leave you the certificate that corresponds to that 50%. Thank you very much for your generosity and support" , he stated on his Twitter profile.
The donation was made on February 23, according to the certificate shown on Twitter.
In 2019, the former Barça coach lost his nine-year-old daughter Xana to cancer.
