UNO signs its first ambassador in the world of football

The popular card game announced a partnership with Tom Bischof, player for Bayern Munich.

The 21-year-old midfielder declared himself a fan of the game after celebrating a goal by mimicking playing cards, prompting Mattel to reach out and sign him as a brand ambassador.

 "The cards are being reshuffled," the player wrote on his social media accounts, posing with the number 8 card in reference to his new jersey number at Bayern Munich.

This marks the first time a footballer has featured in a commercial campaign for UNO, following a previous action with basketball player Giannis Antetokounmpo for a limited-edition sneaker release. The brand is also an official sponsor of Formula 1.
