Under Armour has signed Memphis Depay, one of the most promising young footballers in the world, to an endorsement deal. The winger, currently the leading goal scorer in the Dutch Eredivisie,
starts his multiyear partnership with the brand immediately.

“On
and off the pitch I'm always ready for the next chapter in my life,”
said Memphis. “I wanted Under Armour in my corner because they will help
me elevate my game until I reach my dreams. I'm going to help Under
Armour bring the impact they've had in American Football, Basketball and
sport performance to the football pitch.”

Having just turned 21,
the PSV Eindhoven winger was a breakout star at last summer's World Cup
where he became the youngest-ever Dutch player to score in the
tournament.  He followed his memorable performance on the world's
biggest sporting stage with a stellar season in the Netherlands.
Memphis, with his world-class pace and clinical finishing, has
established himself as one of the most sought after players in the game.
In 2014-15 he's netted 21 goals in all competitions and leads the
Eredivisie with 15 goals.

“Memphis is one of the World's best
young footballers and is a great addition to our brand's elite athlete
roster,” said Peter Murray, VP, global brand and sports marketing, Under
Armour. “His star continues to rise and we're excited to help him reach
new heights with our innovative footwear, apparel and digital training
tools. He's only 21, but has proven that his explosive and fast style of
play combined with his unrelenting will to be great gives him the
potential to be a game-changer.  We look forward to working together
with Memphis to inspire the next generation of footballers for years to
come.” 

Starting Mar. 1, Memphis will wear a soon to be released
Under Armour football boot in all matches and training. In addition to
being featured in future global brand marketing initiatives he will
collaborate closely with the brand's design teams on the development of
boots, apparel and equipment for football.

In 2011 Under Armour
became the official technical outfitter for Tottenham Hotspur of the
Barclays Premier League. The brand also has technical partnerships with
Colo- Colo, 30-time champions of the Chilean Primera Division, Toluca
who are 8-time champions of the Mexican Primera Division and 8-time
winners of the Mexican Primera Division, Cruz Azul.

US
International Jermaine Jones joined the Under Armour athlete roster in
2014. Along with Jones, Memphis joins a roster that includes 2013
Wimbledon Champion Andy Murray, NBA All-Star Stephen Curry, Super Bowl
XLIX MVP Tom Brady and the most decorated female alpine World Cup skier
in history, Lindsey Vonn.
