Oakley Signs Russo As Brand Ambassador
Lioness Alessia Russo has become the latest athlete to partner with Italian luxury brand Oakley.
The England and Manchester United striker joins Oakley’s growing sports partnership roster which already includes Super Bowl-winning quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, World Cup winner and France star, Kylian Mbappe and two-time Balon d’Or winner Alexia Putellas.
The deal highlights Russo’s rise to prominence since her impact at the UEFA Women’s Euros 2020, where she scored four goals in the tournament.
At Manchester United, she led the team to its first ever FA Cup final, highest ever league finish and qualification for the Champions League while being named Player of the Season by the club’s supporters.
The agreement also builds on Russo’s own brand partnership portfolio, after appearances in high-profile adidas campaigns and a deal with headphone brand Beats.
The United forward has recently been linked to a big money transfer to fellow WSL side Arsenal.
