Six Degrees of Separation from Messi, Ronaldinho, Mbappé?

At UNOZERO, we celebrate the global football ecosystem—a network where every player, every play, every coach, and every club is interconnected in remarkable ways.

Have you ever heard of the concept of “Six Degrees of Separation”? It’s the idea that any two people are six or fewer connections away from knowing each other. Whether through friends, colleagues, or shared experiences, we’re all closer than we think.

Naturally, we couldn’t resist applying this concept to football—and the results were eye-opening. Among our community, we’ve found players who, through matches or coaching connections, are linked to legends like Messi, Ronaldinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, Mbappé, and Salah. The list keeps growing.

Imagine the paths that connect grassroots players to global stars. Perhaps you trained with someone who once played against a rising professional. Or maybe your coach was a former teammate of a football legend. These connections remind us how beautifully interconnected the football world truly is.

How about you? What’s your “Football Six Degrees of Separation” story? Share your connections with us—you might surprise yourself with how close you are to the stars.

It’s a small world, and football makes it even smaller. That’s what makes this game so beautiful.

Play with passion, stay connected, and keep the stories coming.
