After the previous success with Slurm Plus - even with the misprinted labels - Fry was looking for higher sponsorships.  The World Cup medal weighed heavily on his neck.  Where to turn?  Galactic delivery businesses?  Retrofitted phone booths?  Pet cloning companies?  All of these are options, but for Fry the choice seemed clear - he is best suited as a spokesman for sandwiches and other snacks sold from vending machines.  He grew up plugging coins into such snack machines for chips, slurm, and poorly refrigerated sandwiches.  At one point he was very sick from one such sandwich - an egg salad sandwich was he remembered but he made a near miraculous recovery.  From that point onward injuries seemed to melt away, no matter how severe Fry was always ready for the next match.

Fry's smiling face, a thumbs up, and his world cup medal were affixed to the stickers that sealed the sandwich wrappings.  Every weary wayfarer buying an expired sandwich would see his face when they unwrapped the meal, and perhaps see it again if they needed to vomit back into the wrapping.  Sales were slow at first, but soon they spread far and wide - Fry representing the premade sandwiches at every gas station, phone booth, and sewer system.  The lawsuits were frequent but easily settled, and Fry was never held liable himself for any damages.  His position in the market was secure - every sandwich bearing his likeness.  And why not enjoy that sandwich with a Slurm Plus!  Most of the cans have his name printed incorrectly, but if you are lucky you just might find one with Bernardo Fry printed across the front.  Those spelled correctly usually have the wrong player picture on them, but you can always hope.

With that, Fry is nearly complete - his picture on the sandwiches, his name on the Slurm Plus cans.  All that is needed now is a new sponsorship with some snack food, maybe Popplers!

Tom Mæddisen is now a very famous player playing for the famous Schwarzwälder Fußbollverein. And making this huge deal is very important. What company would fit Tom Mæddisen? Do they have to have a certain style or strategy? Or does the product have to be as unique and famous as Tom Mæddisen himself? Can it be something boring if they just give away enough money? Or do they have to be a world leader in product quality? Or just be world leading in some aspect? Tom Mæddisen has received plenty of offers. But to be honest Tom Mæddisen has said no to all Russian offers. Tom Mæddisen does not want to have anything to do with Russia. So it does not matter how many money they offer. Or what kind of products that were a possibility. It is a no go no matte what it is. THe same goes for Israel. Tom Mæddisen prefers to cooperate with European companies. Since he is not being very impressed by the United States of America either. So to make all the excited people less excited we are going to reveal the major sponsorship deal right now *drum roll* Tom Mæddisen has partnered up with Comfyballs. Tom Mæddisen needs his man eggs to be comfy and perfectly tempered to peform as his bestest. Comfyballs makes the balls just comfy. It is a win win for both parties. Who doesn't love to watch Tom Mæddisen stroll around in his boxers? And Tom Mæddisen needs to have boxers as well. Those white briefs Schwarzwälder Fußbollverein provide to their employees are too Italian for Tom Mæddisen. He needs a comfy boxer. He needs his balls to be comfy. He needs Comfyballs and comfyballs need him. Tom Mæddisen will donate his used boxer every match for the next eight seasons. And after the season there will also be a lottery where everybody that buys a lottery ticket can win a yearly supply of boxers. The ticket will cost only £67, and there is currently a consumer research study underway to determine whether a yearly supply of boxers should be 12 or 380. Time will tell, and Tom Mæddisen will show the world those boxers to your significant other's utter delight.

Approved. I'm sure everyone will be dying to get their hands on Mæddisen's worn boxers!

Jesper has become known the world over as one of the key players on AC Romana's roster. Being one of the top players from Italy's premier football club, it's no wonder that seemingly every brand in Italy wants to partner with him. One morning, he's sorting through his business emails, deleting offers from random companies one by one, until a name in his inbox catches his eye. Luciano Monosilio. A famous, Michelin-starred chef hailing from Rome. Famous in particular for his carbonara, which just so happens to be Jesper's favourite dish. Indeed, he's a regular at Luciano's, to the point where he knows all the staff by name (and they know him, but I mean, everyone in Italy does). Anyway, Luciano is expanding his restaurants across the world. He's opening one in New York City, one in Singapore, one in London, one in Cairo, one in Buenos Aires, Sydney, Shanghai, Stockholm... and he needs a brand ambassador. And of course, who better to represent the brand of his restaurant than someone who's a regular there? And not only a regular, but a world famous athlete? For a pasta restaurant, serving a dish many consider unhealthy, an athlete who eats there is like the golden ticket when it comes to marketing. "He doesn't worry about our food being unhealthy, so why should you?" Jesper, of course, jumps at the opportunity. He's happy to do photoshoots, record advertisements, post on social media about Luciano's. He travels around the world to be present at the opening of each new restaurant and be the first customer served there. He even brings some of his teammates along. Whenever he's got an away game in a city that has a Luciano's location, he always pays them a visit, both because he's being paid to do it and because he genuinely enjoys the food. It's the best of both worlds.

Its taken awhile, but Dunkler is finally known throughout the world. But for what exactly? He was always a support player for the vaunted Paris teams he played on. Only in his 2nd to last season did he really have any brushes with greatness. He’s an old Dracula from Romania, which isnt as sexy as a teenage vampire. But vampires do thrive at night, so whats a product or market that captures this essence? Not a first impression, but capable of big things? Comfortable at night or in the dark? Supports key role players?

Underwear, that’s right. Never responsible for your first impression of someone, unless you’re looking at something you arent supposed to (shame on you). Underwear has a job to do, just like Dunkler on the pitch. SUPPORT the key role players (ahem Im not explaining who they are, shame on you x 2). Underwear is important because it keeps things comfortable and under control while you go about your day. But it also gets its chance to shine in the right situations, just like Dunkler has as a supporting scorer and setup player on ASP and USP.

Dunkler chose to partner with Victoria’s Secret on this international brand expansion. The company will be pushing a line of men’s underwear but there will be a women’s line as well. No reason to gate keep this revolutionary idea of sports and underwear partnership. This will be a slight departure from Victoria’s Secret more intimate lines and lean more towards athletic. It will strike a balance between the two and try to appeal to a broader audience. Remember this is supposed to be about support first, with the chance to impress second. The steady reassuring support from the DUNK line is meant to give the wearer the confidence to get things done without worrying about what may happen to their butts. Then if needed, the DUNK line can dazzle once revealed.

During his career, Ryan van Eyndhoven was never someone who needed many sponsors. He already earned enough from football to live comfortably, so there was never much reason for him to look for extra sponsorship deals. 

Ryan hated almost everything that came with sponsorships. Starring in ads, attending business events, posing for promo’s and pretending to be interested in corporate meetings were all things he would rather not do. If he had free time, he would much rather spend it annoying rival fans and players (especially a certain German striker) on social media than sitting through another lame event.

But that all changed when Romana announced that Kappa would become the club’s new home kit supplier. Alongside the partnership with the club, they also reached out to Ryan with an offer for a personal sponsorship. At first, he wasn’t that interested. He had turned down similar opportunities before and knew exactly what would come with signing one. But the money Kappa offered was hard to turn down. Even though Ryan was already earning more than enough money, the offer they gave him was simply too good to say no to. 
He eventually agreed to the deal, although he still wasn’t very excited about all the ads and events that came with it. Instead of using the extra money for himself, Ryan decided to use a large part of it for something he actually cared about. 

Ryan had always cared about kids getting proper opportunities in football, so he did just that, he used the money he received from Kappa to continue supporting Dutch grassroots football and helping give young kids an opportunity to play the beautiful game. 

While he still disliked the advertisements and business appearances, knowing the money was helping kids who normally couldn’t afford the membership fees to play for their local football clubs made the deal easier for him to accept.

Billy Bobby was now, slowly but surely, becoming a household name in both the SSL and on the international stage. And with all of this come lines of companies all hoping to be associated with you. Billy has never been one to think about deals to secure the most money for himself, so it would ever be a choice of picking one that best represents his values.

The company that Billy actually ended up being most associated with was not one that even approached him, as they did not think it would even be a possibility. The company, known as ‘Every Paw Matters’, was an animal charity that specialized in providing medical services for animals when vet bills were astronomically high. This was a company that Billy’s family had used when one of their Capybaras needed surgery.

Billy wanted to help support and grow this charity so that other people could benefit from something that he himself had benefited from many years prior. Billy was now making a trademark part of his celebrations when he scored to include taking a plush animal tall that was hidden by the stands to promote the services. 

To take it a step further, Billy has also started to donate all of the bonuses he receives from scoring goals directly to the charity. This combined with his ever growing profile has really helped the company grow into one with global reach and able to help so many animals.

Now heading into another season, Billy hopes that this extra motivation can help push him and his team back to the top. His main ambition is to win the cup, as not only is this strongly part of Tokyo’s history as a cup team, but also he would love nothing more than to take his celebration to the next level, with one of those plush animals sitting in the cup as his lifts it overhead!

As No Face looks around at players his age he sees a ton of sponsorship deals, and all of them so disgustingly nice, animal shelters, grassroots football and all that rubbish, so No Face thought this needed balancing out, his first sponsorship deal was with sweetstealers, this was a non profit organisation that focused on stealing candy from a baby because life is tough and the earlier people learn this the better, he then also took sponsorship with another non profit that focused on privatising grass roots football to an extortionate rate that only the richest kids could possibly even attempt to get into football as No Face is a big believer in pulling the ladder up behind him and the less competition coming up from the younger players the longer No Face's career can last for

Another sponsorship that seemed to align with No Face's objectives was the further education for all foundation, now this might sound a bit crazy to an outsider but bear with us, if you combine football being too expensive with school being free what is everyone going to do? They will go on to further education, be it uni or college etc and this further takes away from the potential pool of players that could one day usurp No Face, another foundation that came out the woodwork that No Face was surprised to even know exsisted was the Help Old Ladies Cross The Road But Then Leave Them Stranded Halfway Foundation which basically does what it says on the tin but No Face couldn't possibly resist teaming up with the foundation

The last sponsorship No Face signed up with was the local olive company, there was nothing really evil about this one, they were a solid company, he just really liked olives

With Luke Walker's star starting to shine brighter than ever, known throughout the world and appearing in commercials in most countries across the planet it was clear he was becoming international star he knew he could become. But with his latest sponsorship comes maybe the most illustrious company to want a piece of this commercial powerhouse his image has become.

With the calls made to agents and meetings setup with the player himself, Walker was over the moon to be the latest athlete to be an ambassador for Adidas when all was said and done and the signature was on the dotted line. Not only were Adidas ingrained in football, they seen his marketability for their golf apparel also. Two sports, one global superstar, this was a match made in heaven.

Luke was now everywhere, a fashionista now sporting Adidas clothing from head to toe. A brand he has used his whole life, it was a dream come true. This lad from Carrickfergus, was now on the big stage showing the world his talent on a weekly basis and getting the endorsements he fully deserved. Adidas made sure to back him, signing him up for a lifetime ambassador role, predicting he would be at the top of the game for a long time as well as around the game long after his career was over. Comparissons to David Beckham's global image have been mentioned before and since and no one can deny that he appears to have the chance to be this figurehead for a long time.

All eyes will be on him this coming season, when he walks out onto the field in his own personalised football boots, which will no doubt be hard to find in the shops once they are in stock. The world is his oyster and it's only a matter of time before we are living in a Walker World.

The scene opens with Andre Caetano walking through a saloon door. The setting is an old rural town in the wild, wild west. The locals don't pay much mind to Andre as he walks up to the bar and orders a drink, the particular type drowned out by the din of the saloon.

The music becomes suspenseful for a moment, and then a trio of masked individuals enter through the saloon doors, weapons drawn. One speaks in a thick Swiss accent, demanding everyone to drop to the ground. The other runs to the bar and begins throwing the glasses to the ground, muttering about the lack of water and how dry this whole place is. The last, a short...bunny(?) runs and slide tackles someone as they try to make a quick escape. The ring leader, evidently the one with the thick accent, demands everyone put their TPE in the bag. The trio circulate the saloon, stealing TPE from each patron. The one obsessed with hydration yells out "this should cover multiple seasons of regression! We should be safe for a number of seasons to come!" while the bunny snickers.

The bag eventually finds its way to Andre, who is still seated at the bar. Eye-to-eye with the ring leader, Andre does not move to put any TPE in the bag. "Your ears busted or something amigo?" the man with the thick accent asks. Andre wordlessly stands up, and pulls a string, causing a loud bell sound to toll. A second passes silently, before a loud roar erupts from above the bar and, crashing down from the upper floor, is a man with a red mohawk who launches into a crunching slide tackle on the man who liked water. "OH NO, WE GOTTA GET TO NURSE JOY" the bunny yells, dragging the broken body of her friend out the saloon doors. Meanwhile, the ring leader is left in a momentary state of shock before running away, leaving the bag of ungainfully acquired TPE in the saloon. The town erupts in cheers.

The scene cuts to Andre and his mohawked friend riding away into the sunset. The words "Live Más" above them. Try Taco Bell's new extra spicy cabbage.

Arsène N’Goussou was more than a little surprised to get a call from his agent, asking if he’d be willing to do a series of commercials for the international corporation 3M, advertising various product lines that they produce. It appears that they first took notice of N’Goussou during a match between Rapid Magyar and Inter London, where N’Goussou managed to make such a slick move, he caused the opposing player to injure himself without N’Goussou even touching him. As they watched more of his play, they became more and more sure that N’Goussou could be a great spokesperson for the companies various brands.

Advertisements included N’Goussou promoting:

-Scotchgard, where he dribbles through a series of opposing defenders who all miss slide tackles on him. As they stand up, their shorts are all grass stained. N’Goussou looks at them, and shakes his head disapprovingly. “They should have used Scotchgard,” he quips, before blasting the ball in the net.

-Scotch Painter’s Tape, where he shoots the ball into the top corner of the net repeatedly, from various positions on the field, then says “I like to paint the corners, but if you’re going to paint your home, you can rely on Scotch Painter’s Tape”

-Post-Its, where N’Goussou goes through his morning routine, and various reminders and messages for affirmation appear on Post-It notes throughout his apartment.

And, potentially most controversially, the advertisement for ACE, where they recreated the tackle, with an opposing player in a blue jersey, clearly meant to evoke Inter London. Then N’Goussou pulls an ACE bandage out of his pocket and tosses it to the player on the ground and says “You might need that”. He goes on to give the rest of the pitch for ACE bandages, hot and cold therapy, compression sleeves, and braces. Then, to close the commercial, the blue team’s trainer opens their office door, to find a gift basket filled with ACE products, and a card that says “For next time”, signed by N’Goussou.

While Arsène didn’t really care for the villain angle personally, his agent convinced him that it could be good publicity. And if it wasn’t, he could always do some outreach later.
