Electric motorsport series Extreme E has announced that former Socceroo Tim Cahill will be backing a new team from next year.
The 42-year-old is part of the XE Sports Group, who will be the first Asian-Pacific team to join the championship since it’s inception in 2021.
The sport sees purpose-built electric off-road vehicles compete in remote locations to promote sustainability and diversity.
Cahill joins F1 stars Lewis Hamilton, Nico Rosberg and Jenson Button as some of the star-studded names who already have teams entered in the series.
“I’m really excited to be a part of this team,” said Cahill.
“The combination of thrilling, competitive racing and leaving a lasting positive impact makes the sport totally unique.
“We look forward to bringing a significant new audience to Extreme E from within the millions of football fans across the world.”
