How Casimiro broke YouTube viewership records

Casimiro’s YouTube channel, CazeTV, is extremely popular. He actually reached 540,000 peak viewers back in January when he was streaming the first episode of Neymar: The Perfect Chaos on Twitch. This limited series was about Brazilian soccer star Neymar. Now, Casimiro has reached even more viewers during the FIFA World Cup.

Casimiro is already known for soccer content in the Portuguese-speaking streaming world. The Brazilian streamer was given exclusive rights to broadcast the FIFA World Cup 2022. This allowed residents in Brazil to watch the matches for free on his YouTube and Twitch channels.
