The Players

Leo Messi:

"It’s always great to be back with the Pepsi team. Pepsi is a brand that celebrates doing things in your own way, and that is something that has always resonated with me. This year is no different and I am personally inspired to share the message that it doesn’t matter who you are or where you are from or how crazy your dream is. You have to go after it with passion and dedication to achieve everything you want."

Paul Pogba:

"Every year these campaigns get bigger and better, and this year it’s all about inspiring the next generation and changemakers in the game – on and off the pitch. It was great to work with the passionate and inspired Pepsi Collective members."

Denis Onyango:

Pepsi is a brand that gives everyone a platform to realise their dreams. It is an honour to be working with the 'Pepsi team' as the brand has stood the test of time and a clear testament that giving up is NEVER an option. Let’s keep on chasing our dreams, they are valid!
