Yamal's decision to join the Adidas family is heavily inspired by his childhood hero, Lionel Messi, a detail he enthusiastically shared.
"I am proud to join Adidas as they have always been the brand of the best. Growing up, I idolized Leo Messi who has been with Adidas since I first started watching football.”
