Biography

edit

Originally from Dammartin-en-Goële in Seine-et-Marne, Pfut is a fan of football, especially of Paris Saint-Germain. His pseudonym is a tribute to the striker Pauleta, and he has never revealed his real name, wanting to keep his private life confidential. His interest in video games, combined with his passion for football, led him to create content on the game FIFA in July 2012.[2] Inspired by content creators like Diablox9, he later started uploading football videos on YouTube and Twitch .[3]

In January 2024, he ranked among the twenty most-watched streamers in France on Twitch.[4]

Pfut became known for his series "Les 90," analyzing legendary football matches, and "Les 11", presenting various teams. He also has the "Planète Foot" series covering football news and "Le Tour du monde des stades", where he visits major European stadiums.[3]

His most popular YouTube video, titled "Le pire match de ma vie... La Remontada" was released on March 9, 2017, after Paris was eliminated by Barcelona, marking the start of his "Le pire match de ma vie" series.[3]

In 2022, Pfut was selected for the "Eleven All Stars" event organized by AmineMaTue, bringing together French and Spanish streamers on November 19, 2022, at Stade Jean-Bouin in Paris. The French team won 2–0. Although originally a starter, Pfut chose to attend a performance by rapper friend SDM before the game, resulting in a lineup change.
