from Brazil
On the eve of the UEFA Champions League Final, Oppo invited its Global Brand Ambassador Kaká and Brazilian football legend Cafu to lead a series of charity football training clinics for Brazilian youth athletes in Munich. This provided the young footballers a rare opportunity to learn directly from their football idols.
After the training, former England international and broadcaster Micah Richards participated in an exclusive 5v5 match with the up-and-coming players, while football legends utilised Oppo’s AI-powered tech to capture those moments from the pitch.
On the day of the final, Oppo gathered Kaká, UEFA Champions League legend Esteban Matías Cambiasso Deleau, and Chinese youth women footballers for a game of the ancient Chinese football-like sport, Cuju, connecting diverse football cultures from the past and present.
Alongside its activations at this year’s final, Oppo has been implementing a range of diverse sports development and talent cultivation programs worldwide throughout the season in its third year as the Official Smartphone Product Partner of the UEFA Champions League.
For instance, Oppo launched a comprehensive sports initiative across four communities in São Paulo, Brazil, to support youth football development. The program includes renovating local football pitches, donating sports equipment and supplies, providing professional training sessions, and facilitating pathways for young players to enter professional clubs.
In Egypt, Oppo teamed up with The Maker Football School for The Maker Oppo Dream League — a nationwide youth football tournament aimed at discovering and developing Egypt’s top young football talent. Furthermore, Oppo has provided comprehensive coaching and world-class player development programs to help aspiring young footballers turn their dreams into reality.
Oppo in Mexico has also announced its strategic partnership with UNESCO, the municipal institutes of Sports of Puebla, and Chihuahua, by providing essential training equipment. The goal of the partnership is to nurture next-generation football talents and inspire professional football aspirations among local youths.
