Here is a great stat for you all. He joined in Season 2 and is already the all time top scorer in the league and cup. That feels pretty good to say albeit I actually know how football manager work which a good people only roughly have an understanding of the basics. So that is why Owen Forty Four is sponsored by the KangaHughJack Stadium itself! Yeah why not, Hugh Jackman is his sponsored. Hugh had a great debut for Sydney and I can imagine his doppleganger would be perfect to sponsor for him. I am confident I can finish 1st all time in goals by the end of my career too. I as of writing am already on 14 goals. Which before the cup games (Cause apparently we do not add those into account overall) is the highest amount mid way through the season and honestly I find myself in pretty bad form. I went 3 whole games without scoring and it hurt the team which sucks but a great bounce back today vs Montreal. I like to believe Owen will use this to send a message to the other strikers to keep up. Only really focusing on rookie Dogwood Maple. Sponsors love goals. So I would love to sponsor maybe Steve Irwin's Zoo? Get some attention to it every time he scores. From the stats of this season and all time I think this is perfect. I get to help animals which is hype, Owen Forty Four is damn near nothing but hype incarnate personality wise and it can just basically be a match made in heaven cause I can maybe get free tickets to the zoo then! The truly perfect sponsor! I hope now that zoo is in Sydney for travel time getting shorter. But yeah I am unsure he would do sponsors for money. I can't see him pulling a Neymar or anything. Maybe a fashion sponsor just so I can get more money maybe? Plus then Owen Forty Four would be pretty cool to do. Or at least I think it is pretty neat. But I think sponsors wont be happening.

Following IP’s selection to Montreal United, IP started to really flourish and become one of the top players coming out of Greece. Although Montreal United is not the strongest team in the SSL IP’s play was noticed by Greek football fans and he has become somewhat of a celebrity in his own country. To this point, IP was contacted by a Olive company, asking if he would like to be the companies representative in the football world, and take part in series of commercials for their products. IP was thrilled as he rather enjoys Olives, and Olive based products and was ready to jump at the offer. The first part of the promotion started at the source, IP was required to visit the grove where the olives are grown, and a series of commercials were filmed there. One in particular had stood out, children playing football using the olive trees as goalposts, and IP joins in on their game and once everyone was warn and tired out, a plate of olives was presented by IP as a gametime snack, bringing everyone together. Another commercial was set to play off of IP’s physical nature, and no I dont mean his stature but rather the fact that he end up getting a lot of cards and committing lots of fouls. This one specifically has IP playing a match against an unknown competitor, and when know one is looking pours a bit of olive oil onto the field so when the unsuspecting opponent runs over that patch of grass they slip, with IP stealing the ball and scoring. Overall, this branding sponsorship was to add some comedy into people’s lives, and interest them in purchasing these Olives and Olive based products, and also exhibiting the sport of football bringing everyone together, in unity. This sponsorship was perfect for IP as he does have a love for olives, and it was like a match made in heaven. On that note, IP was also offered to become the organizations honourary spokesman, and promote the brand on and off the pitch, while also setting up a charity in his name, with the Olive Companies in tandem for children who cannot afford the sport and need assistance breaking into the game (389 words) APPROVED

The above reason and of course, the respect and love that Kofi Anshah has for his roots, have made the choice to sign a 2 year promotion contract with the website visitghana.com such a clear and easy choice. Though Ghana tourism and the tourism related activities are currently rated as the highest foreign exchange earners in the country, the potential of the tourism industry to become a leading source of foreign exchange earnings in Ghana has not been far realised, evident that the country’s tourism potential has not been fully explored and marketed. With this partnership, Kofi will try to inspire all his Ghanian and African SSL colleague, to visit the most hidden and unknown travelling treasure of the country. The whole effort will be documented via reels, pictures and videos and will be posted in visitghana.com’s social media. Kofi’s place in the whole project will be to communicate the efforts and the website through his own social media and of course, wearing for at least 20% of his screen time, the relevant visitghana.com cap. Apart from this, Kofi will participate in the filming of all the promotional episodes of SSL players in the Ghanian touristic destinations. Apart from the event, there are future plans of creating an online show, in which Kofi will be interviewing famous Ghanian footballers that still live in Ghana and explore their region together, explaining the reasons that made them stay in this beautiful place, even though they could have been anywhere in the world. In the trailer of the new projects, the places that will be visited will include the below from the list: Accra neighbourhoods, especially the ones near the beach The Kakum National Park and Mole National Park An amazing road trip to Kumasi A full day playing watersports in Busua Beach and a visit to St. George’s Castle A night diving trip to Kokrobite Beach [361 words] APPROVED

"Hello" he responded, getting a greeting back. "Are you Leonidas Papadopoulos from AS Paris" said the man in Greek, with Leo giving him an affirmative response. "We are from the famous Greek carrier airline Sparta and we would love it if you became the face of our upcoming football campaign" replied the man. "Good, I would love it, we have the deal." spoke Leo and hung up the phone. The deal was soon made and Leonidas flew from Paris to Greece, after a training session, to find the executives and start the commercial shooting. Leo landed in Athens after a few hours of flights with the airline, he was given a driver as courtesy and was taken to the commercial shooting. He arrived to the studios and was taken to the cafeteria, where the executive, Mr. Babis greeted him with a hug, and explained him his plans for the commercial. ''Leonidas, we are glad you could make it, what I have in mind is not just a regular commercial and is not just to boost the airline's sales but also the tourism in Greece, as the commercial will be shown in all of the world!''. "Sounds interesting" Leo proclaimed. The commercial was revolved around Leonidas boarding and driving a plane, kinda like a tour guide, and flying all across Greece's most famous places, up until the night where he forgot that he was a "tour guide" so he was flying back to Paris before getting reminded by an flight attendant. And it truly meant a lot. It meant that he was becoming the star of his country and an inspiration for the kids to follow their dreams . It meant he got to show his ambition to help spread the message of sports to all the people in Greece. It meant that the beauties of Greece would be showcased all across the world, thus attracting more people to join our beautiful country for their vacation and even more. Not to mention that his face would be advertised in all screen boards, posters and TVs, with Paris also getting a worldwide recognition. As a proud boy Leonidas was, he felt joyous for that opportunity, in what it seems to be the start of the dream.. APPROVED

Such a major sporting company reached out to the young star following his outstanding sophomore performance which lead to a team of the year appearance. Adidas wants to be known around the world and having a spotlight in a hidden gem of a football player farm could bring many more youngsters into the sport. The call came in midway through the offseason when Jokull was doing training and season recovery with a small team in Reykjavik. His manager immediately took the call and began negotiations. This was a big opportunity for the youngster and nothing was going to get messed up. After some negotiations over a few days, the parties came to an agreement on terms and payment. Juliusson was going to become the face of youth football for Scandinavia fit with a custom cleat deal that would sport the Iceland flag as its main colorway. That and a good chunk of money to make the man and his party happy. The deal was done and next would come the European marketing tour. But wait, before you head out for a big trip you gotta head over to the regional headquarters and meet with the team who will be designing your custom gear. As a sponsored athlete you get a lot of equipment and clothing that you basically will wear constantly to promote the brand. Every athlete worth their salt has some kind of a sponsorship because it pays for the equipment you will use in a season. Jokull met with the team and got to know them on a more personal level. They would be the people he would reach out to if he ever needed anything or had any concerns about a product. Soon he would hop on a plane and meet up with the other sponsored athletes for a press tour and professional photoshoot. Jokull is a bit of a shy character and is not used to being in the spotlight. He spoke with other athletes that have gone through all of this before and they gave him a quick talk about how to approach the media and ways to stay collected. He wanted to preserve his genuine nature and not be some cookie cutter guy who gives the same answers as everyone else. He was not a big name star like Ronaldo or Messi who would constantly draw the eyes of the media and have their words be under a microscope. He was there to bring eyes to the small island nation so that others may live their dream like he was. APPROVED

After Aimo was seen frequently having one of those amino acid drinks in post-game interviews for CABA, the company reached out to him in order to get a sponsorship deal going on for him. It did not take long for Aimo to think about this once in a lifetime opportunity to support his favourite sports drink, so he agreed on the sponsorship. First part of the deal included that they would shoot an advertisement to endorse more athletes to use the product. Now you will see Aimo's face in almost every grocery store in the world that sells Nocco, because the ad is highly visible in every single one of those stores. The advertisement was released a few weeks after it was being shot, and a reveal press conference was held. A few questions were landed directly at Aimo, and here is what he had to say <div align="center">We saw your ad with Nocco, it came out great. Was this the first time you were doing an advertisement? I'm really pleased with the results, and it was my first time, yes. I have always been very nervous and shy on camera but this time it felt great and very natural, so the tension was not there. How did it feel to land this deal with one of the largest brands in sports and nutrition? I have been drinking these ever since I quit drinking alcohol, and it has been a great replacement. I support the product and I'm highly infatuated that I get to be one of the people who get to work with this brand and this product. When they called me, I immediately said yes, it was overwhelming at first but I got through it once I did sign the papers. There have been rumours that you will get to create your own drink for the company. Is this true or are these all false? I will confirm right here and right now that you will see my own version of this drink, which is highly influenced by my club in Buenos Aires and southern american flavors.</div> 387 words APPROVED

Although he did not have much technical ability, his raw athleticism allowed him to be one of the fastest players on the pitch. As he became more famous, some Dutch companies started to take note, and eventually KLM reached out to him to be their spokesperson. To them, Visser was very marketable for an airline given his speed on the pitch, and they hoped that people would begin to associate KLM with that speed, as well. As soon as they reached out to him, Visser immediately accepted the offer, as he was never known to turn aside large amounts of money. KLM already had a nice slogan picked out for their ad campaign: "Do you want to fly like Visser? Take a flight with KLM today!" The campaign saw immediate success, with the airline immediately seeing a 18% increase in bookings, which indecently is also Visser's number. KLM eventually expanded their campaign to increase the number of flights on routes to the locations that Visser played in throughout the season, giving fans to travel the world in the same way that Visser did. The deals would also include tickets to Tokyo SC games. KLM further expanded operations in Japan, as their popularity exploded in the country. This led to increased numbers of flights between Tokyo and Amsterdam, and eventually boosted relations between the two nations, resulting in more trade deals and a huge boost to their respective economies. The last part of their campaign was to put a giant picture of Visser's face on the side of all their aircrafts. The deal caused a complete overhaul of the branding of the company, and drastically changed the political landscape in Japan, as well as the Netherlands for the better. The partnership also changed the world of advertising and led to many more athletes getting similar types of deals, however none of those deals would see the same success as the one Visser made with KLM. 366 words APPROVED

Firstly, he was left unprotected in the expansion draft, and was selected first overall by Cape Town. However, Cape Town's management had not discussed anything with Pascal prior to being selected, so after a few days of thought, Pascal made the decision to ask to be traded from the team. If he was not traded, he planned to retire and end his career early as he had pigeonholed himself into a certain position and was not going to actively injure a team by forcing his way into staying in a single position. However, a way worked out for Pascal to be able to play at his preferred RAM position. A few days later, he was traded from Cape Town to Cairo for a second round pick. Then, immediately after, he was traded from Cairo to Sao Paulo for a first round pick. Sao Paulo was extremely excited to be able to bring the young winger to the club as they had wanted him in the expansion draft to begin with, and Pascal was thrilled to join a club where there was a serious desire for his presence and skills. Cairo was wonderful to him, of course, just did not have the room to be able to play him where he desired. A couple days after this, the promising young winger was offered a sponsorship deal by Claro Brasil, a telecommunications company offering cell phone coverage and service across the country. Pascal was offered a significant amount of money to become the main sports spokesperson for the company, and as their pitch to him was incredible in every sense, he decided to accept this sponsorship and make it his first. Claro's pitch to Pascal stated that while they could not offer coverage on his career paths, they could offer coverage through Brazil to make sure that he never was left in the dark by constantly changing plans. They also came up with a clever play on words: "From Cairo to Claro. Upholding the highest standard." In addition to the $300,000 contract for one year of sponsorship and likeness, the deal came with incentives that would offer opportunities to make up to $500,000 if there were certain increases in sales. The company also offered a ticket package in a giveaway for the team's home games through the season: five new customers would win a 4-person all-inclusive package to one of the home games during Sao Paulo's season. Pascal agreed to do a meet and greet with all 5 winning groups. APPROVED

While the young centreback has made his mark on the league, the player's latest move has had some considerable backlash. Shaking hands with the Irish President and Brigadier General before taking his seat, a quiet fell over the media before him as Mertz spoke his opening statements for the conference. "I am proud to be joined here today by my newest sponsors, the Irish Air Corps. I will now take any questions." An almost immediate uproar could be heard from outside as the statement was made, while the first member of the media took the mic to ask their question. "How did you end up receiving a military sponsor for playing football?" "It's quite simple really, myself and the Irish Air Corp share a lot of similarities. Our levels of aerial dominance on the pitch and on the battlefield are unmatched. It's the perfect fit." Audible groans could be heard from members of the media, it was a terrible pun to justify a potentially worse decision. After a handful of boos and "This guy stinks!" from the crowd, it quieted back down and the next question could be asked. "Were there other offers on the table for you when it came to this decision or did you bite at the opportunity?" "I'm an easily bought man, the Air Corp offered me the most money and so I took it no questions asked. I actually haven't even read the contract yet I just signed and initialed a bunch of documents and they handed me a check. Pretty good deal I thought." The President and General exchanged glances behind the player, the General winking in the exchange, and some audible discomfort could be heard rumbling throughout the stadium. The general uneasiness around Seoul's primary centreback potentially being eligible for conscription or worse didn't sit well with the club's supporters, but unfortunately not much could be done about it now. One last question would come from the crowd before the conference was adjourned. "Are you aware of the implications that come with having a governmental or military sponsor?" "Hey man I just play football, I don't get involved with any of that nonsense." "But yo-" "I appreciate you all coming out today, I look forward to speaking with you again once the season kicks off here!" Before anyone had a chance to ask another question or grab the players attention, he stood up from his seat and walked out of the conference, likely to remain unseen until the start of the upcoming SSL season.
