Offers the opportunity to watch the finals in Istanbul 
Global sportswear giant adidas reveals Finale Istanbul, the Official Match Ball for the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League knockout stages in India. Drawing its inspiration from the host city, where East and West merge, the intricate design features a hand drawn artistic interpretation of a map of Istanbul, which uniquely bridges the two continents of Europe and Asia. The 2019/20 UEFA Champions League Final takes place in Istanbul 30th May 2020. The adidas Finale Istanbul Pro will be available to purchase online, in adidas retail stores and selected retailers from today.



The Official Match Ball of the final has been designed to highlight the famous stars of the UEFA Champions League. Nodding to Istanbul’s deep culture of art, the carefully placed white stars contrast to a hand printed artwork of a map of the city which can be followed and adorns the rest of the ball.
 
Fusing art and football, adidas designers looked to more traditional methods to bring the map pattern to life. The ball features the latest adidas performance technology to help ensure Europe’s top can perform at their best during the UEFA Champions League Final. Offering the same high-performance structure and panels as recent iterations of the iconic star ball, an outer texture coating gives a secure grip and complete control while the panels are thermally bonded, with more sustainable glue, to provide a seamless surface for an improved
first touch. Equally distributed colour and the star formation are arranged across the ball to ensure peak performance and enhance aerobatic stability.

Celebrating the thrill and action of football, adidas also announced an interesting initiative for fans across the country. The buyer of the adidas Finale Istanbul Pro ball gets a chance to enter an exciting raffle draw. The lucky winner of the draw will stand a chance to win an all-expense paid trip to watch the UEFA Champions League final in Istanbul along with his/her partner.

All India Gaming Federation launches the second edition of ‘PRO SERIES’

By: Sanket Savaliya on November 21, 2019 / comment : 0



·         AIGF kicked off the Mumbai leg of PRO SERIES by hosting a ‘Knowledge session’ with International poker operator – Pokerstars
·         Opinion leaders like Roland Landers – CEO AIGF, Ankur Dewani - CEO, Pokerstars India, Ranjana Adhikari - Nishith Desai Associates and Muskan Sethi - Pro player shared insights about the Online Poker industry


 All India Gaming Federation (AIGF), the Industry body for online skill gaming in India successfully launched the second edition of ‘PRO SERIES’ - which aims to bring recognition and create awareness about online Skill Gaming in India.

This year, AIGF kick started the second edition, by hosting a knowledge session with international poker operator – Pokerstars in Mumbai and highlighted topics like developments in the poker industry, the legal landscape of Poker in India, the importance of self-regulation, responsible gaming and Poker is growing in the Indian & international market.


Explaining the objective of this initiative, Mr. Roland Landers, CEO – All India Gaming Federation said, “Though the Industry is witnessing robust growth for the business and in terms of player adoption there still exists a lack of understanding around online skill gaming in India hence it is important to create awareness amongst relevant stakeholders. ‘PRO SERIES’ aims to achieve that objective wherein top professional players and other domain experts will share key insights about Poker being a mind sports and on the dependence of various skills required for playing it.”
 “I am glad that AIGF’s association with Pokerstars will enable spreading awareness about the game and focus on our self – regulation mechanism”. Mr. Landers added.

The online poker industry is growing at a rapid pace in India and it is estimated to be at around 15 percent of the entire online skill gaming universe in India. Elaborating on the same Mr. Ankur Dewani, CEO, PokerStars India stated, “We are happy to see India taking up poker & other games of skill that are not just another entertainment option but can also provide a platform to those looking to learn new skills. Our endeavor is to help boost this growth by investing in ATL marketing campaigns like the one we launched as India's first Poker TV ad campaign in March this year.”
He further added, “We at PokerStars.in ensure utmost safety and security for all our players who use our platform and have strict policies in place to ensure player safety and experience.”
Highlighting the legal landscape of Poker in India, Co – Head: Media, Gaming & Entertainment Practice Group, Nishith Desai Associates, Ms. Ranjana Adhikari stated, “The current legal framework is a state wise regime, contemplating mainly brick and mortar based gaming. But with most entertainment platforms going digital, a state-wise law doesn’t address the needs of a thriving internet based business. Contrasting judicial approach and legislative changes of the states, threaten the stability and sustainability of online gaming businesses. A central law regulating the same is perhaps the need of the hour, to give the industry stability in legislative policy and clarity for decision making.”

  
"Following the successful self-regulation model of the broadcasting industry, AIGF’s initiative to self -regulate games like Poker is in the right spirit and direction. Skill gaming is in fact protected by the Constitution of India and the poker industry embracing self-regulation as an interim framework to govern themselves, reflects the bonafide intent to remain above law.”  She added

Sharing a player’s perspective, Pro – player, Pokerstars & Responsible Gaming Ambassador -AIGF, Ms. Muskan Sethi, said “What could've been better than turning my passion into profession? Though, initially I started playing poker for points with my friends and acquaintances, the urge to be the leader always pushed me to get the best out of my game. As I read and practiced the game avidly, for me it was a game of skill that required one to have knowledge of mathematics, psychology, game strategy and probability."
AIGF has been at the forefront of advocating for a regulated Online Gaming marketplace in India and PRO SERIES is another one such initiative that aims at sensitizing & educating the community about the Online Poker industry with the help of events, knowledge sessions, round tables, conferences and many other initiatives. This year, the second edition of PRO SERIES will consist of a multicity knowledge session involving India’s best Pokers pros, key operators and other stakeholders in various cities.

By: Sanket Savaliya on May 10, 2019 / comment : 0


~ adidas campaign features Indian sporting icons Hima Das, Nikhat Zareen & Swapna Barman and aims to inspire the warrior in each women ~

Sports is growing rapidly in India and with multiple accolades received by young athletes in the recent past, the world is taking notice of India as a powerhouse of sporting talent. This development has sparked a strong sense of interest towards pursuing sports as a career choice among st today’s youth especially women.  
Driven by this ongoing change, and to further fuel the growing inclination for sport, adidas, the leading sportswear behemoth has been inspiring young athletes to take to sport over the last few years through marketing campaigns and grassroots activation. Continuing in this endeavor and focusing on women this mother’s day, adidas India has launched a new campaign film, SHE BREAKS BARRIERS a tribute to all mothers and women at large to celebrate each day as it comes 
The film is an effort to engage young women to give them the self-belief to take on the world. The film has it’s roots in the insight that if women don’t see women in sport, they would not naturally develop an inclination to pursue it. She Breaks Barriers showcases three powerful and leading national icons - Sprinter Hima Das, Heptathlete Swapna Barman & Boxer Nikhat Zareen and delivers on the message that each woman has the capability to achieve their dreams, no matter how big, and that no barrier is daunting enough to hold them back.
Based on a narrative structure that deconstructs the aspirations of a young athlete, the film reinforces that through creativity and self-belief, one can break all barriers to achieve greatness and inspire a generation.
On the release of this film, Mr. Sharad Singla, Brand Marketing Director, adidas India, said: “At adidas, we believe that through sport, we have the power to change lives. “She Breaks Barriers” is an effort to continue harnessing this power and responsibility as we celebrate women and their ability to continuously overcome challenges.  We hope that we are able to instill a sense of impeccable self-belief in women & celebrate their journey as they achieve higher grounds in sport and their careers.”
Excited about the launch of the film, Hima Das, the World Junior 400m champion commented “No goal is too far and no challenge too big if one is determined to achieve their dreams. I’m really excited to be in this inspiring film and I’ll be extremely proud if my journey is able to positively change the life of even one single person.”
Adding to this Nikhat Zareen, former Junior World Boxing Champion said “Boxing gave me a voice to express my real grit & motivation to challenge stereotypes and fight for victory. I hope more and more girls are able to pursue their dreams”
Swapna Barman, the Asian Games Gold medalist commented “If a small-town girl like me can come this far, I’m 100% sure every girl out there can make their dreams come true. I’m so happy that I was able to be a part of this film and really excited that we have been able to bring it to life.”
In the recent past, adidas has been working with Indian athletes & clubs and showcasing their stories to drive consumer love. After Real Kashmir in 2018 and the recently launched “Mumbai: Always Running” campaigns, this film illustrates the brands focus on driving consumer obsession through local relevance.
 The film can be viewed through the link below and shall be celebrated with consumers through adidas’s digital marketing efforts.

Adidas launches new running film “Always Running" to celebrate the “Always on the run” spirit of India

By: Sanket Savaliya on April 26, 2019 / comment : 0


~The film makes Mumbai one of 7 global cities to be featured at adidas’ International running festivals ~
~ The film is accompanied with a launch of the new “Chasing my dreams - Anthem of running” track~




Running!!Running is changing. In today’s day and age, running has become an integral part of most people’s fitness journey -with increasing Indians taking to running in the last decade, that reflects a growth trajectory like what was witnessed by the western world in the 80’s. India has seen a rise in the number of running events and marathons across the country, and each year the participation is rising by thousands. However, in the mix of Marathons and 10K’s, there is more that the sport has to offer. Running is changing, running has a special space in the runner’s mindset, running is an individual’s journey and every runner has a story. 



For an individual, from clocking a personal best at a marathon to being part of a running group or larger community, running has evolved from just being a fitness journey. The notion of connecting with nature, exploring cities and building social relationships over food & coffee is a classic example of how running is so much more than the physical & biomechanical aspect of the sport. It reflects how people can rise over their deepest fears, transform the world around them and start a new journey in their individual capacity.



Inspired by this ongoing change, and to further fuel this growing inclination for running, adidas, the leading sportswear behemoth, has put India on the global running map through a unique film which brings to life an Indian perspective on running. The narrative, using Mumbai city as the backdrop, is being showcased at the adidas Running Film Festivals being hosted across 4 continents. adidas India’s film “Always Running” is 1 of 7 films selected, from out of over 45 cities that submitted their entries. The Mumbai narrative is one amongst 7 which also include stories from London, Madrid, Tokyo, Shanghai, Beirut & Los Angeles.


adidas’ Running Film Festival celebrates urban running culture by bringing together the pulse of running from different parts of the world. “Always Running” speaks to us through a narrative that highlights the ‘ALWAYS ON THE RUN’ spirit of Mumbai and India at large. It captures the city of Mumbai from a local lens of running and deals with subtle nuances that reflect the city’s culture. It further epitomizes four key protagonists and their stories, with each story being an inspiration to the life of a common man. Individually and collectively these stories redefine running and showcase what it means to run your life, your way!

Through the film, adidas also brings to us a new running soundtrack – “Chasing my dreams: Anthem of Running” which is dedicated to the runners of India. This running track appeals to the inner voice of runners and inspiring lyrics “Over My fears, chasing my dreams, it’s a new beginning” particularly draw parallels from the running tracks to life in general in India.

On the occasion of the launch of the running film, Mr. Sharad Singla, Brand Marketing Director, adidas India said, “It is a matter of great pride that an Indian running story based in an Indian city will be an inspiration to runners around the world. We as a brand are mere catalysts to give wings to the untapped potential of the country. This work not only brings out the inspiring and collective nature of running enthusiasts but also showcases the high capability of creative talent that our country has.”

The Mumbai running film along with the 6 other global city films are available to be viewed on the adidas running YouTube channel and adidas social media handles:



The running anthem will be available to be downloaded from the adidas stores & select music applications shortly. Details of the platforms to be shared shortly.
