Sam Kerr’s world-class credentials have just grown even stronger.
We’re less than a week out from the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and Nike has just released an epic ad ahead of the tournament.
It’s got a star-studded cast, featuring the likes of Mbappe, Ronaldo, and even a 2002 Ronaldinho.
But there’s one particular star to keep an eye out for, and it’s Australia’s own Sam Kerr.
The ad is a brilliant nod to past and present football stars – but maybe even more to Kerr’s ‘world-class’ status as one of the best from around the globe.

The goal was also Kerr’s 12th in as many games in 2022, making this year her most productive calendar year for the Matildas – certainly world-class.
