Sport and music together isn’t new. But when the world’s best defender is injured and starting down the lonely road to recovery, there’s nothing like a bit of, say Afrobeats to liven things up and keep motivation high.

In an authentic new collab, Virgil has signed up as ambassador to promote the equally world class JBL brand. Known for decades as a hallmark of sound quality, JBL’s credentials in the headphones space is up there with the best, having expanded the business from a core range of high end speakers.

Unfortunately there’s no limited edition range of product to speak of, however, what we like about this collab (along with other ambassadors - Jesse Lingard, Giannis and Martin Garrix), is the legitimate story Virgil can tell about the role music has played in his recovery from injury.

“Using JBL’s incredible Boombox 2 while I work out always helps keeps me in the zone. The past year has been incredibly difficult and challenging for everyone, including for me personally. Music has helped me to get fit again” said Van Dijk.

Liverpool FC fans, cannot wait for those headphones to come off and for him to step out at Anfield again soon!
