After Westfield Stratford, Battersea Power Station, and Liverpool ONE earlier in 2023, the Oxford Street location is the most recent in a string of prosperous Brand House debuts. Nketiah, who grew up playing football in London, participated in a store Q&A session hosted by Nicole Holliday, an Arsenal supporter and TV broadcaster, during the store launch event.
They talked about things like the requirements for becoming a professional athlete in London and his guidance for other athletes who want to compete. The UA Next Athletes in the crowd, many of whom are pursuing their own goals of playing football in the Premier League someday, found great resonance in this.
“Working with Under Armour, a company that has a track record of collaborating with outstanding athletes who share my challenger mentality, is incredibly exciting,” Eddie Nketiah stated. I admire what the brand is doing to help young athletes reach the pinnacle of their performance through the UA Next London initiative, and I look forward to contributing my part as a Londoner who has seen firsthand what it takes to succeed in club football.
“Eddie is a resolute, diligent young athlete who is always aiming for more,” stated Kara Trent, Managing Director EMEA at Under Armour. He is the ideal addition to our expanding group of football players and will serve as an excellent role model for the UA Next program as we seek to motivate and interact with young team sports athletes in London.
