Celeb joins historic movement
After signing a deal with Nike, UEFA has also landed the support of Stranger Things actor, Millie Bobbie Brown and the historic movement continues to grow alongside women’s football in general.
The young actor has joined as an ambassador for the movement and this clip shows the Liverpool FC fan putting her skills to the test in a session for young girls at Wembley Stadium.
UEFA’s head of football, Nadine Kessler, on the role Millie will play:
“Millie Bobby Brown is a source of inspiration and motivation to so many young people across the world and we’re excited to have her on board with Together #WePlayStrong. Girls tend to lose interest in football or drop out around their teenage years and to have someone as relatable to that audience as Millie, showing girls how much fun football can be, will hopefully help to grow interest and participation in the game across Europe.
“We can’t wait for this dynamic partnership with Millie to evolve and help further connect Uefa to the world of young women through entertainment and sport.”
