Kai Trewin Hits 100k Followers in Viral Campaign

Socceroos defender Kai Trewin has gained 100,000 Instagram followers as part of a viral social media campaign aiming to elevate him to 'Cristiano Ronaldo of World Cup' status.

The Instagram trend aims to make relatively low-profile World Cup squad members famous before the tournament begins. Trewin's follower surge comes as New Zealand's Tim Payne also gains attention, surpassing All Blacks in social media engagement.

This social media rivalry between Australia and New Zealand players represents a new dimension of the pre-World Cup competition, where Instagram presence has become as important as on-field performance in building player profiles. esporist.org
