Puma× EgyptWorld Cup kit launch

A kit launch staged like a premiere.

The problem

Launch Egypt's World Cup kit with the squad and with the players who wore the shirt before them.

What I did · Creative direction

A red-lit theatre instead of a pitch, and a legends series that puts the 1998 shirt next to the new one.

The result

A launch that told the story of the shirt, not just the season.

The challenge

Launch Egypt's World Cup kit with the squad and with the players who wore the shirt before them.

Kit launches in this category look alike: a stadium, a pitch, some smoke.

The thinking
Insight

For Egyptian fans the national shirt carries memory. 1998 is part of the 2026 story.

Strategic choice

Launch the shirt as heritage, not as a season.

The idea

A red-lit theatre instead of a pitch, and a legends series that puts the 1998 shirt next to the new one.

The output

Squad portraits in the theatre, the kit revealed in a case, and a legends series pairing past and present.

The premiere

A red-lit theatre in place of a pitch.

Point of view
Heritage is a launch strategy when the audience already owns the memory.
The impact

A launch that told the story of the shirt, not just the season.
