About the Work
This World Cup would see the best of this generation take on the best of the next generation. The question “Who is the GOAT?” was more alive than ever. It’s a question that has wasted infinite hours of football fans, athletes, sports shows, coaches, and even sports scientists. We can all debate for hours, days and years about it, we can compare stats and try to equalize them, we can have sleepless nights trying to draw parallels that won’t give us the answer. Because the truth is, the GOAT is always yet to come.
Footballverse exemplifies the belief that the future of sport has infinite potential — and encourages a new generation of footballers to prove it. Put simply, the game is never done.
By championing incredible Nike players, past and present, Footballverse also shows that every generation of athletes makes a unique footprint on the game, expands the sport, and inspires future generations to take it further.
The four-and-a-half-minute film features a dozen elite Nike athletes: Alex Morgan, Carli Lloyd, Cristiano Ronaldo, CR Jr., Edgar Davids, Kevin De Bruyne, Kylian Mbappé, Leah Williamson, Phil Foden, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo Nazário, Sam Kerr, Shane Kluivert and Virgil van Dijk. In addition to notable players, the film has a familiar soundtrack, “Weird Science,” by Oingo Boingo.
