Bolt will represent both Bengaluru FC and Mumbai City FC, playing one half for each team, as part of PUMA’s two-day celebration starting September 30. The match will be a ticketed event.
"We believe sport has the power to inspire and unite communities. Football is one of the most popular sports among the youth of India, and bringing Usain Bolt to play here is our way of celebrating that momentum," said PUMA India MD Karthik Balagopalan.
Football has always been close to Bolt’s heart. From his childhood games to training and trial matches after retiring from athletics, he has pursued the sport passionately, even scoring goals along the way.
