NEW YORK, Sept. 4, 2024 ~ WHP Global, a leading brand in the world of sports, has recently announced the addition of Chicago Fire FC midfielder Kellyn Acosta to its roster of athletes. This news comes as a major boost for the brand, which already boasts a star-studded lineup including New England Revolution defender Tim Parker, Seattle Reign FC and U.S. Women's National Team member Sofia Huerta, and over 300 professional soccer players from around the globe.
Acosta, who is also a member of the 2022 FIFA World Cup U.S. Men's National Team, will now be representing LOTTO® both on and off the pitch. As part of his partnership with the brand, he will be sporting LOTTO footwear during games and promoting the brand through social media and live appearances throughout the year.
Expressing his excitement about this collaboration, Acosta said, "LOTTO is a storied brand with a rich soccer history. I am particularly fond of their Stadio OG cleats – the premium leather and Italian craftsmanship truly shine through. I am also looking forward to showcasing some of their timeless lifestyle classics off the field, such as the soccer-inspired Brasil Select shoes."
