Recognized influencer Santiago Maratea will join the Reserva de Colegiales, a First National team in Argentina, while aspiring to secure a place in the first team.
"Initially, Maratea will train with the club's reserve team while the first division faces Arsenal de Sarandí next Saturday at 17:00, as the home team, in the third round of the Argentine promotion," stated the content creator.
"I want to thank the people of Colegiales for this opportunity and send a greeting to all the fans, who I hope will also welcome me. The goal is to be serious, to get involved, train, progress, and spend time at the club with the boys on the team," expressed Maratea.
The 32-year-old influencer had previously played for Ezeiza FC in the Amateur Promotional Tournament. Maratea's arrival at Colegiales suggests a long-term project, unlike the brief participation of the streamer Spreen at Deportivo Riestra, who played only one minute against Vélez, sparking controversy on social media.
The "Tricolor" club excitedly announced Maratea's incorporation and expressed on social media: "We want to share with you that starting tomorrow @santimaratea will join the training of our Reserve. It's to train, progress, and earn my place if given the opportunity. I'm not going to do a fundraising campaign, don't worry, this is not the end of all this. Obviously, any other way I can help the club I will do. Welcome, Santi!"
Fans are eager to see how Maratea's venture into the world of football will develop and if he will achieve his goal of breaking into the first team of Colegiales. The influencer makes it clear that his intention is not to be suddenly inserted into the First Division without first proving his worth and effort on the field.
