Puma has unveiled its Fifa World Cup campaign with a three-minute film dedicated to those who are ‘fearless.’

The film features FOTs (Football Obsessed Teens) and the ‘Puma Fam,’ which includes top footballers such as Neymar Jr, Antoine Griezmann and Memphis Depay, plus younger players including Nikita Parris, Christian Pulisic and Romeo Beckham.

The ad is a combination of sports, fashion, music and youth culture, and begins on a bus where one of the youngsters mentions Neymar Jr’s ‘fearless’ state of mind during play. This word resonates with the friends and comes to life throughout the film.

As the ad continues, the characters challenge each other to embody the sentiment on and off the pitch. Sometimes that’s having a football career while being a mother, standing up to older kids during a game or even daring to change the music at a busy party. By repeating the word like a mantra throughout the film, the characters make ‘fearless’ exist within everyone, in all situations.
