Frank Ribery Featured in Nike Ad with Cristiano Ronaldo

2026-07-07 · Frank Ribery · Player Focus

Frank Ribery was part of a star-studded cast in Nike's 2010 "Write The Future" advertising campaign.

He appeared alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, and other top footballers.

The campaign featured scenes that suggested the players' careers and lives would be defined by the upcoming World Cup in South Africa.

In one scene, Wayne Rooney was pictured misplacing a pass in a game against France, leading to an England defeat, and ending up staring ruefully at a billboard of Frank Ribery.

Cristiano Ronaldo had a disappointing World Cup record, with only 11 goals in six tournaments, despite being the all-time record goalscorer in both club and international football.

On Monday, Portugal suffered a stoppage-time defeat by Spain in Arlington, Texas, marking the end of Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup career at the age of 41.

Frank Ribery was not directly involved in this year's World Cup, but his appearance in the 2010 Nike ad remains a memorable moment in football history.

The ad campaign was a great concept, featuring six of the game's biggest stars, including Frank Ribery and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo's World Cup legacy is complex, with both highs and lows throughout his career.

Frank Ribery's role in the Nike ad was a testament to his status as one of the top footballers of his generation.
