Building a stronger connection between fans and the Egyptian national football team ahead of the big games this month, Pepsi launched a digital-only campaign this Ramadan featuring players singing their training routine straight from the camp and social media followers cheering with a series of lip-synced videos of the same songs.
Using its famous hashtag #يلا_نكمل_لمتنا (let’s get together and live with our team), Pepsi’s campaign encompassed a series of five videos all front-lined by national team defender Saad Samir, with a little help from his teammates Tarek Hamed, Ahmed El-Shenawy, Mohamed Awad and Marwan Mohsen.
The players showcase how their training days are going, singing catchy musical numbers which tell their training regimen, meals, and how they spend their free time, all through the power of the song.
