We are committed to bringing our best product capabilities, design and creativity to this partnership, while introducing new ideas and a distinctive Chinese design perspective to the global football collectibles market. Most importantly, we want to give fans in China the opportunity to experience Atlético in a deeper and more personal way — through beautifully designed products, authentic collectibles and unique fan experiences. We hope this partnership can become a bridge between the Club and its fans in China, and create something that both Atlético and PLAYFULLY can be proud of,” David Cao stated.
Together, Atlético de Madrid and PLAYFULLY aim to build a new standard for football collectibles in China — combining authenticity, product innovation, design and fan experience.
