Iván Raúl Buhajeruk (born 11 October 2000), better known as Spreen, is an Argentine streamer, football player and YouTuber.

Career

[edit]

Spreen began his online career in 2012, initially on YouTube and later expanding to Twitch. His content includes gaming, tutorials, and vlogs, with a focus on creating a community feel with his audience.[5][6][7]

In 2023, Spreen was nominated Content Creator of the Year, and surpassed streamers such as ElRubius and IlloJuan.[8] As of July 2022, Spreen's Twitch channel had over 6,700 paid subscribers, and his YouTube channel had 4.4 million subscribers.[9]

On 22 September 2024, Spreen made the switch to the new streaming platform Kick. Spreen stated that the move was motivated by better financial terms, claiming he could earn in a single livestream on Kick what he previously made in a month on Twitch.[10]

Football Controversy

[edit]

In November 2024, Spreen made his professional football debut as a striker for Deportivo Riestra, before being substituted after less than a minute, in their Argentine Primera División match against Velez Sarsfield in a 1–1 draw. The debut drew criticism in Argentine media, with Estudiantes de la Plata president Juan Sebastián Verón describing it as a "stunt" and a "lack of respect for football and footballers." Neither Spreen nor Deportivo Riestra issued a public comment at the time. Following the incident, the Argentine Football Association announced an ethics investigation, reportedly in connection with the circumstances of the match.[11]
