We are six days away from the official start of the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, and Nike's new empowering ad makes it impossible not to get excited.
The three-minute ad spot is set to Joan Jett & the Blackhearts' "Bad Reputation" and includes several soccer stars including U.S. women's national team winger Crystal Dunn, Brazil’s Andressa Alves, Korea’s Ji So-Yun, Netherlands’ Lieke Martens, Australia’s Sam Kerr, China’s Wang Shuang, France’s Amandine Henry and England’s Fran Kirby and more.
