Arturo Vidal
"King Arturo"About
Arturo Erasmo Vidal Pardo is a Chilean professional footballer and GGPoker brand ambassador. Widely regarded as one of the greatest South American midfielders of his generation, he has played for Juventus, Bayern Munich, FC Barcelona, Inter Milan, Flamengo and Colo-Colo, collecting more than 140 caps for Chile and winning back-to-back Copa America titles in 2015 and 2016 as a cornerstone of Chile's 'golden generation'. Vidal is also a genuine poker player, final-tabling a 25,000 euro buy-in European Poker Tour event in 2019 alongside former Barcelona teammate Gerard Pique. In April 2026 he became the first professional footballer and first Chilean to join GGPoker's ambassador roster, a deliberate sports-crossover signing aimed at growing the room's Latin American audience.
Notable: 5th place in 2019 EPT Barcelona 25,000 euro High Roller (with Gerard Pique); 140+ caps for Chile, back-to-back Copa America 2015 and 2016 winner
