Football stars are known for their incredible skills on the pitch, but many of them also have impressive collections of luxury and performance cars. With enormous salaries from clubs, sponsorships, and endorsements, some of the world's most famous players have been able to purchase vehicles that cost hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars. From Ferrari and Lamborghini to Bugatti and Rolls-Royce, their garages can be just as impressive as their football careers.

Sports fans who love to place bets on their favorite team’s matches may look for a reputable gaming platform online. Online betting discussions sometimes reference UFA when covering different platforms and available services.

Cristiano Ronaldo

Few footballers are as well known for their love of cars as Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portuguese superstar has owned an impressive collection that includes several Ferrari models, a McLaren, a Rolls-Royce, and multiple Bugattis. His collection has included the Bugatti Veyron and Chiron, while reports have also linked him to the extremely exclusive Bugatti Centodieci.
Ronaldo’s taste in cars generally reflects his personality: powerful, fast, and luxurious. His collection includes some of the most expensive and exclusive performance cars ever produced, making his garage a dream for any automotive enthusiast.

Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi may have a quieter personality away from football, but his car collection is anything but ordinary. The Argentine legend has owned vehicles from Ferrari, Maserati, Audi, Range Rover, and other premium manufacturers. Among the cars associated with Messi is a Ferrari F430 Spider, while reports have also highlighted his rare Pagani Zonda Roadster.
Messi has also owned more practical luxury vehicles, including SUVs that are better suited for everyday driving and family life. His collection demonstrates that even one of football’s most successful players appreciates both performance and comfort.

Neymar Jr.

Brazilian superstar Neymar Jr. is another footballer with a passion for exotic automobiles. His collection has been associated with cars such as the Ferrari 458 Spider and Maserati MC12. The Maserati is particularly notable because it was produced in extremely limited numbers, making it a highly desirable collector’s car.
Neymar’s flashy playing style seems to match his automotive choices. His collection combines Italian design, high performance, and exclusivity, giving him some truly eye-catching vehicles.

Karim Benzema

Former Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has also developed a remarkable collection of luxury cars. Among the vehicles associated with the French forward are the Bugatti Chiron, Ferrari 458 Spider, Lamborghini Aventador, and Rolls-Royce Phantom.
Benzema’s collection is especially impressive because it includes several high-performance supercars. His Bugatti Chiron, for example, represents the combination of extreme speed and luxury that has made the Bugatti brand famous.

Zlatan Ibrahimović

Zlatan Ibrahimović is famous for his enormous personality and confidence, and his choice of cars is similarly bold. The Swedish striker has owned a Ferrari Enzo, Porsche 918 Spyder, Maserati GranTurismo, and Ferrari Monza SP2.
The Ferrari Monza SP2 is one of the standout vehicles in his collection. It features an open-top design and a powerful V12 engine, making it a particularly exclusive car for a player with an equally distinctive personality.

Mohamed Salah

Not every football star chooses the most extravagant vehicle for everyday use. Mohamed Salah has been associated with more practical luxury cars, including an Audi Q7 and Mercedes-AMG GLE Coupe, while reports have also linked him to more exotic vehicles.

Salah’s selection shows that footballers can have a mixture of practical family vehicles and high-performance cars. His understated approach to automobiles contrasts with some of the enormous supercar collections owned by other football stars.

More Than Just Cars

The impressive garages of famous football players offer a glimpse into the lifestyles that can come with success at the highest level of the sport. While players such as Ronaldo, Messi, Neymar, Benzema, and Ibrahimović have different tastes, their collections share an appreciation for luxury, performance, and exclusivity.

For football fans, these cars provide another interesting way to follow their favorite players — in addition to getting regular live Football Today news. Whether it is a classic Ferrari, a powerful Lamborghini, or an ultra-rare Bugatti, the vehicles owned by football stars demonstrate just how far the rewards of a successful football career can extend.

first of all a very belated happy new year to each and every single one of you. we didn’t have much of a break during the end of 2024 into 2025 period due to preparing for a lifelong dream – having a car entered at Tokyo Auto Salon.

long story short boss man naoki spoke to me mid last year with a simple question of ‘do you want to participate in the 2025 tokyo auto salon’ next to my car, in which without much thought swiftly responded ‘yes’. before we knew it the end of the year was near, the HKS 2.1L managed to get hot which completely ruined the head, block and most of the pistons. following this the car went to SKY MOTORS in osaka to takuzo-san for a full pull-down and rebuild. new head, block, HKS 87mm pistons, rods, brand new oil & water pump, head gasket and some head work to get it back, running and not only ready for auto salon but for the 2025 season. the new engine made a wild 531HP at 1.65 bar.

i have been shooting this event for many years, dating back a few decades ago to Australian auto salon’s and even back to working with auto salon magazine when i was 16 years young or so. honestly this has been one of those self-manifestation goals i’ve had for a very long time. the fact that very minimal foreigners have had cars and or companies entered into this event has made me beyond hungry to make this a reality.

over the course of 3 days we had a rediculous amount of people pull through to say hello, express their gratitude and positivity with what we’ve been doing and creating for the last 15 years in which we’re forever thankful – so thank you everyone. as usual we’ve put together a video & very small photo gallery from the event (below). 3 days wild days of the event plus months of preperation.

next up is osaka auto messe 2025 which is held in osaka next week, february 7th, 8th & 9th. if you’re in japan during this time be sure to make it as it’s osaka’s largest event in the annual year. If you’re also planning a similar event, ensuring the safety of the attendees should be your top priority. You may need to hire 24 hour fire watch guards to prevent any type of incident inside the venue.

ready for a giant year, thank you always. caseyyy x

a few weeks since the last upload. car life episode 9 – this is a wild one. updates on multiple cars including some NA content. full travel vlog & drifting footage from our trip up to gunma for the annual HARDCORE TOKYO gunsai mountain drifting event. thank you so much to jun-san & everyone at HARDCORE TOKYO for such a wild, safe & extremely well run day. looking forward to being back next may. as always, grab a beer & enjoyyy the weekend. loveee. caseyy x

D1 LIGHTS 2024 rounds 6 & 7 meihan sportsland c course

what a wild few weeks or even months leading up to this event and competition. D1 LIGHTS is a series formerly known as D1 Street Legal one rank down from D1 Grand Prix (D1GP). last year i did 3 out of 4 rounds of the D1 Divisional series (one step down from LIGHTS) placing 3rd in the series. the previous year i also drove at a senkoukai (license day) at Autopolis Lakeside circuit coming 1st obtaining my D1 LIGHTS license. a few years later and here we are with the V2 reformed and properly built 3037 D1 spec S13 silvia.

rounds 6 & 7 (dual) for this year were held at home course meihan sportsland c course in which myself, jake from Australia, fujio-san & nakamura ryuu debuted in. the lead up to the event was multiple all-nighters and an insane amount of work not only in our shed but other friends such as Takuzo (SKY MOTORS), Naoki (N-STYLE) & Satoshi (PRO SHOP DIVERSION) for D1 regulations, painting & tuning before coming back to Nara to test & finish the car just in the nick of time to be ready and presentable for D1.

results for saturday weren’t anything to write about – not passing qualifying definitely hurt however the car was having very small issues with boosting where it should be which didn’t help from the morning. best run in round 6 was a 95.8 which put me around 25-30th qualifying position.

sunday was a much better and brighter day after changing front suspension setups back to what i was used to in the V1 3037 S13 and diff final change from 4.6 to 4.3 to help get extra legs after the flick for the longer extended meihan course. i ended up qualifying 6th with a 98.25 on my 2nd run putting me into the top 16 battles which felt amazing especially after saturday’s results. pushing through my top 16 battle with more surfacing car issues into the top 8 being knocked out by koga-san in his RPS13 180SX from kyushu. i was chasing initially and upon flicking behind him the car did a giant missfire and cut out causing the car to not flick at all anywhere near 100% making it seem like a very ‘weak chase’. next was my lead and i knew the position i was in so tried to lay down one of the best runs i’d done all weekend which felt amazing however obviously wasn’t enough to get through to the top 4. final results overall on sunday round 7 was 5th overall. a lot learnt, for sure.

i want to say a giant thank you to:

and each and every single one of you, especially those who purchased one of our D1 LIGHTS support packs, it helps tremendously. very excited to get straight back into practicing in the newly built S13 and get on the rails to go as hard as possible this year at Kansai All Stars in a little over a month. what a wild experience and to say i’ve got the bug for D1 would be an understatement. a little more testing and confidence in the car i will be looking forward to competing in more rounds in 2025.

enjoy a gallery & full video of the lead up to the event itself and everything in-between. love always. caseyy x

a lot of updates as of late. since the last blog post there is another 5 videos (almost a weekly basis) from building the cars, driving and everything else in-between in which the response has been amazing. below is the latest video – building the D1 LIGHTS V2 3037 S13 plus a full drift day at meihan c course in the second half of the video. as always enjoy along with the small photo gallery of the car coming together. love x

a brand new insight to the brand – the latest videos to SHIRTSTUCKEDIN. big, new refreshing plans with all the current S13 fleet. 3037 (main) and 2530 (practice) cars. 3 episodes live from the last few weeks building new machines.

The old practice car will now become the new 3037 (main) car, alongside a 60,000km un-crashed and un-drifted chassis. Below are 3 vlog style videos documenting what has gone into these cars thus far, excited to continue documenting, shooting and enjoying having the camera by my side again daily.

a few years ago i purchased an iconic PS13 from the late 90s into the early 2000s. built by CARBOY x TOMEI that specific car boasted quite a wild and rare driveline setup – a full TOMEI 2.2L stroked NA SR20. ‘retired’ quite a few decades ago perhaps the entire setup hadn’t driven or even started in a very long time. the 2.2L SR20DE & driveline was eventually swapped into another 2 tone S13 i’ve had in storage for quite a few years and after many months of it being worked on here and there between other cars, projects and general work it was time to change some dinosaur technology and get it on the dyno.

with so much on the go this little car has taken quite a long time however good things do and cars are only becoming more expensive and wasteful to rush in my personal opinion. i reached out to Satoshi-san from PRO SHOP DIVERSION south in hyogo prefecture to see how his schedule was looking to try fit in the PS13 to change the TOMEI REYTEC computer out to a V3.4 HKS FCON and re-mapping.

a basic rundown on the engine is as follows:

SR20DE 2.2L TOMEI stroker kit
TOMEI 87mm stroked pistons
TOMEI conrods
TOMEI crank
compression ratio 12:6
TOMEI 272mm camms 12.5 lift
re-enforced valve springs
TOMEI 4 throttle intake setup
TOMEI metal headgasket
TOMEI one off exhaust manifold designed and made specifically for this engine setup

safe to say the day went excellent with 0 dramas whatsoever. after a few decades this very special setup is idling, running and revving to the moon once again. making 214.35HP at the wheels quite safely (as it’s a street driven car) handled by the master at PRO SHOP DIVERSION – Satoshi-san. enjoy the little gallery below + a little ASMR youtube vide from the day with plenty of NA SR20 noises. love alwaysss. caseyyy x
