Renowned Italian football goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has recently confirmed his strategic investment in OQtima, an innovative online trading company, marking a significant departure from traditional sponsorship deals.

Buffon's active involvement in OQtima signifies a profound collaboration between the realms of professional sports and financial trading platforms. This move establishes a new era where sports legends become not only brand ambassadors but key stakeholders and strategic partners in the financial sector, thereby revolutionizing the landscape of partnerships.

A New Age For Partnerships

In a groundbreaking development at the crossroads of finance and sports, partnerships between online trading platforms, cryptocurrency exchanges, and sports icons are undergoing a transformative shift.

Many trading platforms and cryptocurrency exchanges are increasingly partnering with sports legends like Buffon, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and more due to their resilience, determination, and strategic prowess, all of which are qualities mirroring those essential in trading and investment. Such collaborations leverage the high-profile status of sports figures to enhance credibility and visibility, particularly in the cryptocurrency sector, where trust is absolutely paramount.

OQtima Emerges

OQtima's emerging prominence and potential in the forex and crypto markets shouldn’t be overlooked. Buffon's investment aligns with the platform's overall vision, user-centric approach, and dedication to technological advancement, reflecting a belief in OQtima's ability to influence the trading and cryptocurrency landscape significantly.

While sports legends bring unique insights and experiences, investors must still balance the allure of celebrity endorsements with the need for financial literacy and informed decision-making. The collaboration between sports icons and financial platforms goes beyond traditional advertising, shaping a narrative of success, discipline, and excellence.

The community anticipates that this trend encourages a more informed and engaged investor base. While endorsements signal credibility, they should not substitute personal financial education and due diligence. Buffon's involvement emphasizes the importance of understanding the nuances and risks of trading and investments.

Buffon's Perspective & Notable Features

In Buffon's own words, "I use OQtima because it is a fantastic tool. It allows users to work effectively, offers a wide range of CFDs, assets in different markets, and a competitive spread. As a minor shareholder, I believe in the platform and enjoy being a part of it."

As the convergence of sports and finance evolves, stakeholders look forward to a responsible approach to investments that combines the charisma of sports legends with financial education and diligence.

In addition to crypto and forex markets, OQtima provides access to other markets such as indices, shares, metals, energies, and ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds). The platform also has Private VPS and Swap-Free account services available.

Users can also find easy and accessible deposit methods while their funds are safely stored in segregated client accounts in top tier 1 banks in both Australia as well as the United Kingdom. Other notable aspects of OQtima include the highly popular MT4 trading platform as well as cTrader which offers advanced trading features alongside seamless forex trading possibilities. There is also a useful Help Center and customer support options including direct call and email.

For over four decades, folding bike pioneer DAHON has always been at the forefront of technological innovation. Its high-quality folding bikes are at the heart and mind of bike riders around the world.

To find out which folding bike does it all the best for most commuter riders and utilitarian users, the New York Times has conducted a survey on 13 popular models from 9 manufacturers, with 85+ hours of research and rigorous testing on the aspects of user experience, comfort of riding, ease of folding, and bike weight.

At last, the well-designed DAHON Mariner D8 stood out with all those aspects, combining good riding experience, high-quality components, and a reasonable price, topping the chart of "New York Times' Best Folding Bikes".

The design inspiration of DAHON Mariner D8 originates from the sailing concept. The super anti-rust surface of its parts is suitable for high-salt and high-humidity environments. Marine D8 can be stored on board a yacht or a boat for a long time before the rider goes for a comfortable ride on the island.

Upon folding, Mariner D8 can be stored in the trunk of a car or a recreation vehicle. Whether carrying on the bus or in the subway, commuters can easily carry it around in the hustle and bustle of the city. Mariner D8 can easily meet the travel needs of cyclists. It can be described as an "all-rounded chariot".

The New York Times notes that "the Mariner D8 rides comfortably, smoothing over bumps and shifting fluidly up and down hills; it folds and unfolds quickly and locks securely in both modes; the design also addresses practical concerns". It comes with fenders to keep mud from splashing in the rain; the front bag can be installed on the frame, and the rear frame can carry and hang items.

Well-known bicycle magazines such as Canadian Cycling Magazine and Momentum Mag coined DAHON Mariner D8 as the best choice for green commuting and leisure travel.

"Good value for money with perfect craft design" is the true feeling of most riders who have experienced DAHON folding bikes.

To make the single-beam folding bike stronger, more stable and faster, the Founder and CEO Dr. David Hon led the R&D team on a rigorous research to develop a patent of "Folding Bike Frame with Reinforced Cable at the Down Tube", giving birth to the DELTEC cable nowadays.

With DELTEC cable installed on a single-beam folding bike, a stable triangular structure is formed at the frame, which greatly increases the service life and load capacity of the overall frame structure. At the same time, the longitudinal rigidity of the whole vehicle is increased by 15%-35%, and the force of pedaling is effectively converted into propulsion, reducing energy loss and being faster than other vehicles.

In the future, DAHON will continue to innovate folding bikes' design and actively promote green and environmentally friendly lifestyle.

The LA Galaxy Foundation, Herbalife, and the U.S. Soccer Foundation today announced a joint commitment to install four new mini-pitches across Los Angeles by 2026.

The four new mini-pitches build on two new mini-pitches installed at DeForest Park in Long Beach earlier this year. The LA Galaxy Foundation and the U.S. Soccer Foundation also installed a mini-pitch at Andrew Jackson Elementary School in Santa Ana as part of the 20-for-20 Initiative with Major League Soccer, adidas, and Southern New Hampshire University in 2016.

"The LA Galaxy are honored to continue our partnership with the U.S. Soccer Foundation and Herbalife as we look to install new mini-pitches across Los Angeles by 2026," said Tom Braun, LA Galaxy Senior Vice President of Soccer & Business Operations and Business Development. "Not only do these fields provide safe places to play in our neighborhoods, but they expand on our collective commitment to the advancement of the sport at all levels as we look to grow the game of soccer in our communities."

About the size of a basketball court, mini-pitches are small, customized, hard-court surfaces that are perfectly suited for organized soccer programs and pick-up games. Mini-pitches serve as community hubs and are shown to strengthen community cohesion, encourage physical activity, and improve safety perceptions.

"Through this partnership and commitment to giving back to our communities, we can make a lasting impact on children by encouraging well-being based on positive experiences that help them live their best lives," said Humberto Calleja, Vice President and General Manager for Herbalife, North America.

Community surveys found that 99% of those living in communities with mini-pitches say that people in their community are more active after the installation of a mini-pitch, 98% say that their community feels safer after the installation of a mini-pitch, and 91% say that their mini-pitch serves as a community hub.

"We're thrilled to expand upon our relationship with the LA Galaxy Foundation and Herbalife and provide more safe places to play across Los Angeles," said Ed Foster-Simeon, President & CEO of the U.S. Soccer Foundation. "These mini-pitches not only provide safe places for youth to play, but serve as community hubs that strengthen communities."

This new commitment marks the latest development in the U.S. Soccer Foundation's It's Everyone's Game national movement to ensure children in underserved communities can enjoy the health and youth development benefits of the game. To date, the U.S. Soccer Foundation has installed over 600 mini-pitches nationwide. The goal is to install 1,000 by 2026.
