No World Cup launch is ever settled without the sportswear manufacturers releasing their official advertisements for the tournament.

Ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Adidas, an official FIFA partner for the tournament that has supplied the match ball for the tournament since 1970, launched the latest chapter of its Impossible Is Nothing campaign, celebrating how football unites players and fans across the world with joy.

With a ‘Family Reunion’ theme, Adidas had its most recognizable ambassadors, Lionel Messi, Karim Benzema, Achraf Hakimi, Son Heung-Min, Jude Bellingham, Pedro ‘Pedri’ González López, and Serge Gnabry come together for a unique reunion, narrated by British rapper, Stormzy.

With each scene filled with memorable moments, players, and places, the film depicts the football icons as one big family gathering for the World Cup, with a slogan that dictates “when football is everything, Impossible is Nothing.”
