DRYWORLD Brands Inc. collaborates with Salsa Futsal to launch Ronaldinho-branded uniforms and training gear, aiming to enhance youth futsal programs across the U.S.

DRYWORLD Brands Inc., a sportswear and performance brand based in Santa Barbara, has announced a new partnership with Salsa Futsal to provide Ronaldinho-branded uniforms, training gear, and fan merchandise. This collaboration coincides with Salsa Futsal’s expansion of its franchise model across the United States.

Salsa Futsal is recognized for its commitment to developing young athletes’ technical skills and promoting a love for the game of futsal, a variant of soccer played on a smaller field and primarily indoors. With the Ronaldinho brand adding global appeal, the partnership aims to elevate Salsa Futsal’s offerings and help enhance their community-based programs.

“Futsal is a powerful tool for developing a player’s technique, creativity, and passion for the game,” said Ronaldinho, a celebrated football icon and brand ambassador. His association with Salsa Futsal is expected to inspire young players in the U.S. to embrace the sport and further their skills.

Ronaldinho’s impact on futsal has been significant, positioning him as a role model for aspiring players. Known for his creativity on the pitch, he has played a crucial role in increasing the sport’s visibility, particularly in regions where futsal has strong roots. His influence aims to bridge the gap between futsal and mainstream soccer, encouraging players to engage with both forms of the game.

Brian McKenzie, Co-CEO of DRYWORLD, emphasized that the partnership offers a significant opportunity to strengthen the brand’s presence among the growing futsal community in the U.S. He stated that the partnership aligns with their mission of promoting teamwork and personal growth through sports.

Marcelo Sarvas, Director of Salsa Futsal, expressed enthusiasm about introducing Ronaldinho’s brand to their players and fans. He noted that the collaboration not only provides high-quality gear but also reinforces the joy of skillful play, enhancing the overall experience for athletes.

As part of the partnership, Salsa Futsal is set to launch new locations in Santa Clarita and Orange County, areas known for their vibrant youth sports culture. The Ronaldinho-branded merchandise will be available through an online storefront, as well as select retail locations, providing young players and enthusiasts access to specialized training gear.

Both organizations aim to promote better athlete development while fostering an inclusive community for both new and experienced players in the ever-growing sport of futsal.
