Nike Starts "The Nike Living Room Cup"
The coronavirus pandemic forces all athletes to stay at home, with sporting activities strictly restricted to stop spreading the virus. Now Nike has started a special challenge that allows people to compete with each other, called "The Nike Living Room Cup".
The Nike Living Room Cup - it's You Versus the World's Best Athletes
The Living Room Cup is a digital workout series debuted on April 5. It "offers a new space to compete against Nike pro athletes through weekly fitness challenges."
The first challenge is an ab workout from Cristiano Ronaldo, shared via his Instagram account. Ronaldo will give his followers one week to beat his best mark, then he'll pass the competition over to the next athlete for a new challenge.
Dedicated workouts to help provide a competitive advantage during each week’s challenge will be made available on the Nike Training Club app. Players can share their results on their Instagram profiles using the hashtags #playinside and #thelivingroomcup.

New Al Khulood Logo Revealed

This marks the second time the club's visual identity has been updated since Ben Harburg's acquisition of the team.
Nike Confirms Release of Gold Mercurial CR7 2026 World Cup Boots
Nike has officially confirmed the upcoming release of the highly anticipated, special-edition signature boot for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the American sportswear giant will launch a spectacular all-gold Mercurial specifically designed for the Portuguese superstar. This exclusive release is scheduled to drop just before Portugal kicks off their opening group-stage match.
The decision to equip the forward in a striking all-gold colorway is a deliberate and symbolic tribute by the brand's design team. Speaking on the upcoming launch to The Athletic, Nike representative Odinga Nimako, a senior figure at Nike’s global football footwear team, explained the specific reasoning behind the glamorous aesthetic. "The fact that Ronaldo is playing his sixth World Cup, we wanted to celebrate the legacy he has set and the way he continues to add to his legacy," Nimako stated. "And there is no better color than gold to help do that."
It remains to be see if Cristiano Ronaldo will wear the golden boots in a match - we expect him to wear them in training only.
