Back Passes: A Women’s World Cup Ads Retrospective (1995–2023)

We took a deep dive into Women's World Cup advertising — from Nike's gut-punch 1995 "If You Let Me Play" spot to the star-powered 2023 campaigns. We're reacting in real time to Mia Hamm vs. Michael Jordan, Rainn Wilson's questionable 2007 choices, the Lionesses' BBC hype video, a very cheeky German ad, and the Nike what the football campaign that started it all. Buckle up.
