The World Cup is not only a platform to crown the world's best football team for the next four years; it's also the battleground for determining the top global football brand in the same period. Nike had a formidable challenge ahead: solidifying its status as the foremost global football brand, even without official sponsorship. Our goal was to establish our dominance in the football conversation, grabbing attention before, during, and after the final tournament match, and ensuring that Nike remained at the forefront of the football world.
