Nike has announced a long-term partnership with Mallory Pugh. The U.S. football player, who is 19 years old, is widely considered as one of the most promising athletes in the sport. Pugh has also stated she will sign with the Washington Spirit in the National Women's Soccer League (NWSL). After playing at every junior level for the U.S. Women's National Team (USWNT), Pugh made her full debut for the USWNT when she was just 17, in January 2016, in a match against the Republic of Ireland in which she scored. She later represented the U.S. at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. Her goal against Colombia in Rio made her the youngest player to ever score a goal for the U.S. in an Olympic game.
