New Zealand national football team All Whites' defender Tim Payne has signed with Club Olimpia in Paraguay. Payne's following on Instagram skyrocketed from 4,700 to 5.8 million after soccer influencer El Scarso identified him as the World Cup player with the smallest social media following. This sudden fame led to interest from clubs in Argentina, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Mexico. Payne confirmed he had signed with Olimpia on a one-year deal. He expressed gratitude to his fans, teammates, and supporters throughout his career. Payne is looking forward to competing for his new club, testing himself at the top of South American football. Olimpia recently won Paraguay's Copa de Primera Apertura title for the 48th time. Payne said Club Olimpia is one of the biggest clubs in South America, with an incredible history and passionate supporters. He is excited to rise to the challenge. Payne's decision to join Olimpia was not easy, considering he spent seven years at the A-League's Wellington Phoenix, playing 149 games. He thanked his fans, teammates, and supporters for their support throughout his career. Payne is eager to compete in the Copa Libertadores and the Copa Sudamericana. His new club, Olimpia, has a rich history of success in South American football. Payne's signing is a significant transfer for the New Zealand national football team All Whites' player. He will face new challenges in Paraguay, but he is ready to test himself against the best teams in South America.
