"As the Football World Cup approaches, Messi is to lead Argentina to new glory. We are honoured to be partnered with him, especially at this moment in his career, and we are thrilled to have such a force of nature collaborate with us. We look forward to getting to know Messi – the man, the myth, the GOAT – but also the philanthropist, the activist, the humanist. We can’t wait to hit the ground running and work with him to make a real, lasting impact for the future."
Leo Messi, is one of the most popular and widely recognised sports stars and a recipient of six European Golden Shoes. In November, Messi will be joining the Argentinian national team as its captain for his 5th World Cup, hosted by Qatar this year.
