PUMA has just announced their latest signing of Chelsea and United States superstar Christian Pulisic to a long-term deal. The partnership with the US captain is a huge move from the big cat and will see PUMA commit to supporting Christian in growing soccer participation in America and inspiring the next generation.
Regarded as one of the most exciting young talents in world football, Christian is the youngest ever USMNT captain and is the first American born winner of the UEFA Champions League following his transfer from Dortmund to Chelsea, a move that made him the most valuable U.S. player in history. He has the most goals and assists of any American player in the UCL and is the youngest ever American goalscorer in the tournament.
“Anyone who loves soccer, should be able to play,” said Christian Pulisic. “We have a platform in sports and if something is truly meaningful, you can really help to open people’s eyes and make changes. What I love about PUMA is they share my passion and my goal to support youth soccer in America and to help the next generation to chase their dreams.”
Leading into the 2026 World Cup, Christian together with PUMA has made a commitment to grow the sport through various programs and opportunities for youth athletes in the U.S., including product donations for underserved youth, establish various camps and clinics, rehabilitating fields and more.
“In many ways it was a no-brainer for me to join PUMA. With its world class and innovative products, PUMA embodies the culture of sports on and off the pitch. Their technical innovations revolve around speed, which is one of my biggest weapons. It’s an honor to follow in the PUMA footsteps of some of the greatest players to have ever played the game, Pele, Maradona, and Johan Cruyff,” said Christian.
Christian will be joining the PUMA’s Faster Football movement and will be one of the faces of the PUMA ULTRA. PUMA has confirmed they will teamed up with boot customizer Silni to produce a customized Pulisic ULTRA 1.3 which Christian will debut in the Super Cup final on 11th August.
