THE LAND OF NEW FOOTBALL
In the midst of one of the biggest football tournaments taking place in summer 2021, we launched “The land of New Football” – a campaign that celebrates and highlights the power of everyday footballers and their way of pushing football forward by playing on their own terms. It articulates a new vision for global football. And that future can’t be pinned down to just one thing. The sport’s future is full of talent, stacked with players who bring incredible skills to the game. It’s inclusive, open to all backgrounds in support of young players finding joy in the sport, and it’s aware of the power of collective work against systemic obstacles.

We took to the streets with posters and billboards, claiming that football belongs to the people. We also took it to the internet with a content series, snap lenses, bespoke illustrations and even our own weekly news show “New Football News”, where we reacted to the best football content inside and outside of the tournament throughout the campaign.

The Land of New Football had a weekly Instagram show that shares football news, highlighting overlooked voices.
