MAGNUS CARLSEN AND CHRISTIAN PULISIC TALK ABOUT SIMILARITIES IN FOOTBALL AND CHESS

Global Sports company PUMA announces a collaboration between five-time World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen and professional football player Christian Pulisic.

Two sport icons came together on a football pitch to have a conversation about the differences and similarities between chess and football.

What can a football athlete and a chess player teach one another? The conversation between Magnus and Christian only shows that there are plenty of things that are relevant for both disciplines. “I am an attacking player who likes to be creative and to put defenders on their back foot. I like to be very aggressive and direct towards goals, so that's really my style,” said Pulisic. When playing football or chess, it is important to avoid critical errors, think strategically, and make decisions quickly. “In chess, I am pretty universal, but definitely leaning towards positional rather than tactical play,” said Carlsen.

Fans can register for free on Chess.com and play Christian Pulisic from July 13th on the site’s “Play Computer” page, or at https://www.chess.com/play/computer?bot=christian-pulisic.

As culture shifts, women on and off the court continue to become more aware of their power, as individuals and in numbers. Since joining the sportswear brand in 2020 as the Creative Director for the Women’s Basketball category, June’s mission has continuously been focused on highlighting and empowering women, knowing life is a team sport and together we play to win.

The 20-piece apparel, footwear and accessories collection will launch in two parts. The first drop, available starting January 26 will consist of ten pieces in a rich burgundy and blue colorway.

Standout pieces include the Hood Hall of Famer tee and the breakaway maxi to midi skirt.

As the relationship between the global brand and Ambrose continues to grow, so has the Creative Director’s signature philosophy, “Life is a Sport”. Speaking to the essence of the campaign for the new collection, Ambrose wants to encourage women to, “only compete against the best versions of themselves; our gives are our gets. Let’s make this year count, let the clock begin Keeping Score.”

From the dominance of streetwear and sneaker culture, to the influx of hip hop within high fashion, June continues to be a template for all generations of women, reinforcing the importance of celebrating yourself.
