Stormzy And Adidas Team Up To Form Merky FC
It’s been quite the past few weeks for Grime icon Stormzy, with his album due at the end of this month, a BBC special airing this week and now the birth of Merky FC. Calling all football fans, Stormzy’s latest partnership with the iconic sportswear brand Adidas, is seeking to create leadership position opportunities within the football industry for the Black community. The multi-year career programme will create the chance for those who may not have the same access to get into the industry as others. Adidas and Stormzy are at the forefront of the initiative but aren’t alone as the likes of Manchester United, Fulham and Sky Sports are among a few of the 11 major brands that are teaming up with the duo. Stormzy said, in an interview with Sky Sports: ‘It’s been years in the making, it’s taken a lot of planning and preparation from ourselves and from Adidas who have been amazing.’
Applications to secure placement opportunities are open now, with roles starting from January 2023.
My idea of success for it is just more brands and people coming on to offer these opportunities and see people thrive in those roles.
