Raphael Varane enjoys his favourite tunes with JBL

Real Madrid’s defender Raphael Varane has been named a global ambassador for audio brand JBL and will star in the brand’s marketing and communication campaigns beginning this month. The 22-year-old France international will appear in a global marketing campaign for the brand, which also counts Bayern Munich’s Jerome Boateng and NBA stars Stephen Curry and Damian Lillard among its roster of endorsers.

“Raphael’s energy, creativity, and passion for excellence make him an ideal athlete ambassador for the JBL brand. He is well respected globally for his commitment to performance under extreme conditions and his technical precision on the field – qualities that are synonymous with the JBL and Harman brands” said Ralph Santana, the chief marketing officer at JBL owners Harman International Industries.
