The DICK\u2019s Sporting Goods Foundation<\/a> and pledged to donate a minimum of 60,000 soccer balls by the FIFA World Cup in 2026 to kids who not only directly participate in Stomping Grounds programming but also to other targeted in-need communities across the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n“It was a big goal of mine to grow this sport and use my name to hopefully give kids somebody to look up to and watch,” Pulisic said. “I\u2019m blessed to be in that position, and I’m so thankful for PUMA for seeing that in me as well.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Pulisic, his on-pitch performance, especially on the national team, is just as vital as outside initiatives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“You see a hungry group of guys right now,” Pulisic said. “You see top players from across the world coming together. The chemistry between the team feels so good right now.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the momentum of the World Cup starting, Captain America and PUMA have a lot in store. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“You\u2019ll see more places like this \u2014 more Stomping Grounds across the country in different cities just helping grow this sport,” Pulisic said. “Hopefully, some new lines coming out, some new cleats, some new balls, some new colorways. Some really exciting stuff coming,” he foreshadows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While what’s next is still unknown, one thing is for certain \u2014 PUMA and Pulisic are committed to advancing the game within the States. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“What PUMA has done to help me in all of this on what we\u2019re donating and how we\u2019re helping these kids who may not get to have experiences like this, to be a part of a movement like this, really means a lot to me,” Pulisic said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n\n\n\n <\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nKeep it locked on Snkrs Day<\/a> on Instagram and the sneaker release<\/a> dates page to stay on top of the latest news and drops. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"USMNT star Christian Pulisic and PUMA continue their partnership with the latest collaborative venture aimed to grow the game with…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":328301,"featured_media":1220833,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[1260644],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
