Former Barcelona star Kevin-Prince Boateng has become the first player to marry in the metaverse.
The metaverse is a virtual reality, where friends and family get to take part in a ceremony in an online form.
Boateng whose career has been hampered by injuries married his girlfriend Valentina Fradegrada on Saturday in Siena, Italy.
The wedding ceremony was organized by the leading Italian wedding organizer, Enzo Miccio.
The two have been dating since the Ghana international divorced his former wife Melissa Satta. Friends and family took part in the event through the metaverse.
“I wanted to do something special for Valentina, something that nobody had ever done. Thanks to OVER, we can celebrate our love like no one has done before, in a space location,” said Boateng, who now plays for Hertha Berlin in the Bundesliga.
