5 of the best advertisements with footballers in them

#4 Nike Airport

The oldest ad in the list which dates back to 1998, this Nike ad was released ahead of the 1998 World Cup that was played in France. A classic as they call it, the ad featured a tonne of skilful and silky tricks that got everyone excited. Performed by the Samba boys, the ad was a huge success as it starred some of Brazil’s best players with Ronaldo, Cafu, Romario, Lucio, Roberto Carlos and others. The background music ‘Mas Que Nada’ by Sergio Mendes was the perfect track for the ad, with some superb beats that provided the much upbeat environment.

If only we had a similar skillset and an equally forgiving airport security.
