To celebrate Brazil’s qualification for the grand final of the biggest women’s national team competition in South America, held in Ecuador, Nike has released the animation 'The Legend of the Canarinha' to highlight the talent of the women’s national team players as they write another chapter in their winning legacy. But unlike traditional fairy tales, Nike flips the script—turning the legacy and bright future of the Canarinha into a horror story. Conceived by Wieden+Kennedy São Paulo and produced by Dirty Work, the animation draws inspiration from stop-motion techniques and the aesthetics of the 1990s, creating a bold visual to tell the team’s story. The film highlights the key traits of Kerolin, Angelina, and Gio—players who make their rivals tremble—showing that what lies ahead commands even more respect than what’s already been achieved.
