USWNT will come into the World Cup after winning the last two editions. They will look to complete a three-peat this time around. It will potentially be the last World Cup for the USWNT superstars, Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan. To pump the soccer fans for the World Cup, USWNT recently released an inspiring promo video.
US Soccer involves Natalie Portman in their recent promo video
USWNT released a beautiful promo video for the upcoming FIFA Women’s World Cup. The video Always Possible was released recently. They collaborated with Hollywood star and Angel City FC co-owner Natalie Portman for the video. Portman narrated the video beautifully. It was a great and apt collaboration for US Soccer.
Portman started a massive revolution in the NWSL and soccer when she landed the rights for the expansion club in Los Angeles in NWSL. The Swan actress came together with many former USWNT soccer stars, Serena Williams, and other women entrepreneurs and investors to start Angel City FC. The NWSL club is now the professional club with the most female owners in the world.
Making history is always possible. 🇺🇸

Looks like US Soccer made the right choice in choosing Portman to create hype around USWNT for the World Cup. Apart from Portman, US Soccer, to prepare its first-ever collaborative, took the help of several female creatives from diverse backgrounds and expertise. Overall, the video is the creation of women to hype the women’s team.
“We’re very proud to have worked together with the Collective, USWNT players and staff while keeping our fans front and center to develop a campaign that will authentically convey the WNT narrative in a way that will unite the country behind our athletes,” said US Soccer Vice President of Marketing Kay Bradley.
