The COVID-19 pandemic has truly thrown everything up in the air. But humankind has a tendency to make the best of any situation and the same is true here. Soccer superstars Antoine Griezmann and Paul Pogba are giving live-streaming a try. They’ll be trying their hand at various games like Call of Duty Warzone, Valorant, League of Legends and more.

Even better, it’s a charity stream, meaning any money they amass during the 24-hour stream will be donated towards battling the disease.

Back in January, French soccer star, Antoine Griezmann dived into the world of eSports by setting up his own team named Grizi eSports. The company announced they would feature a 20-man roster across 5 different games, namely, Fortnite, FIFA, League of Legends, CS: GO and Rainbow Six Seige.

A wonderful initiative, it has a little something for everyone- gamers, soccer fans, everyone. Moreover, the stream will also feature soccer players other than Griezmann. Manchester United superstar Paul Pogba will be playing Call of Duty Warzone, while Ousmane Dembele will play Football Manager.
