There’s no doubt that Pepsi have assembled a pretty spectacular team for their World Cup, and given that the roster comes from a total of 19 countries, it’s fair to say this is a truly global announcement!
The players themselves have been tweeting up a storm about it, and we can’t wait to see what else will come from having such a superstar line-up!
