00:00Well, the research that goes into the ball is, you know, works for over many, many, many years.
00:05And when it looks to the design, you can see that the colors of each of the three nations, Canada, Mexico and U.S. is in the ball.
00:13If you look at the details, you will see that the culture of these countries are also marked with different symbols and different graphics.
00:21The ball itself has been tested in all three markets under all conditions to show that it's the best ball.
00:27And then, you know, the integrated technology, which are the sensors in the ball, are then helping it to be a more fair game.
00:34And I don't know how people know how difficult it is to put sensors in the inside of a ball and then still have the right flight.
00:41So it is a piece of research, and I call it the piece of art.
00:46It's beautiful and it's high in demand.
00:51We know that very, very many retailers who've seen the prototypes have ordered it.
00:55So it's going to be the most sold ball ever in the history of any sport.
01:01Does this World Cup carry a strategic importance when it comes to the relationship with the North American market?
01:07Oh, yeah.
01:08I mean, you know, Adidas has 76 years of history and huge awareness all over the world.
01:14And I think it's fair to say that we are the soccer brand.
01:18But we have to admit that we never really did a great job in America.
01:22There are older brands that are American that have, you know, done a much better job for the consumer here.
01:29And that has to do with that the American market is different.
01:33You know, America has something called college sport, which is very emotional, which we in Europe don't really understand.
01:40They play baseball, which we think are very boring, but it's very meaningful for them.
01:45They play American football, which we don't play.
01:47And I think also basketball and ice hockey are sports that are ahead of football or soccer historically.
01:55And that means that if you want to be successful here, you kind of have to be more American.
02:00And we have not done a great job in that.
02:02I think the chance we have now is that, first of all, very, very many kids are playing football, soccer, both male and female.
02:09And we should not forget that among the girls, football is the strongest growing sport.
02:15So we see the World Cup as another catalyst to lift soccer.
02:19And for us, as leaders, to kind of take market share as a brand and then long term be a bigger brand in this market.
02:27So for us, it's very, very important.
