Adidas
Telling the story of an icon.
Mo Salah has an incredible story, from his modest origins to becoming sporting royalty. It’s a story everyone in Egypt knows, but not so much outside the country., With Mo Salah coming to the USA for the World Cup Adidas wanted to share this story with the world.
We told the story of Mo Salah not just as a footballer, but as Egypt’s living legend whose story has already entered cultural mythology. Set inside the Grand Egyptian Museum, our film follows Huda El-Mufti recounting Salah’s journey to a group of children as though he were an ancient icon etched into history. Through cinematic, sculptural imagery and dreamlike football moments, we explore how a boy from a small village became a symbol of belief, discipline and national pride. The campaign blends heritage with contemporary greatness, positioning Mo as both human and mythical, while the “You Got This” platform becomes a message of self belief passed from one generation to the next.
Impact
By telling a story broader than football, we elevated Adidas’ iconic platform to a cultural height that builds love with Egyptian fans and also reverence with fans around the world.
