The players join current Nike athletes, Vini Jr., Drogba and Naomi Girma, all of whom were present at the knockout tournament, alongside hosts Vini Jr. and rapper Travis Scott. All three soccer stars have deep, personal ties to street soccer — roots that trace back to their early pre-pro days. Drogba, known for his historic career at Chelsea FC as one of the club’s greatest players, got his start playing street soccer. While, Girma, who grew up in the U.S. where street soccer continues to gain popularity, connected with the gritty game and learned to carve out space for herself as a female athlete.
