CUPRA has renewed its collaboration with FC Barcelona goalkeeper Marc ter Stegen, a member of the CUPRA Tribe from the beginning. This partnership extension comes at a crucial point for the brand. 2024 is an important year for CUPRA, as the brand is launching 4 new electrified models.
The German footballer will continue to be a CUPRA global ambassador for the next three years, representing the brand’s values and boosting its awareness globally. The renowned player first became a member of the CUPRA Tribe in 2020, a few months after FC Barcelona announced it was CUPRA’s Official Automotive and Mobility Partner.
“I’m proud to continue as a CUPRA global ambassador. Since 2020, we’ve been creating very special moments together where I’ve had the privilege and pleasure to drive all their cars produced so far. We both share a deep connection and passion for our unique city: Barcelona”, said Marc ter Stegen. “Embarking on this new chapter together in 2024 will be special, as CUPRA is launching their most electrified product offensive yet. We will keep inspiring the world from Barcelona together”.
Marc ter Stegen embodies CUPRA’s challenger spirit, and his charismatic personality and natural talent have earned him the position of second captain at FC Barcelona. His experience on the field has made him an essential leader at the team and, with his disruptive mind-set, he perfectly represents CUPRA’s values and the brand’s ambition to push boundaries and always go out to win.
His connection with the city of Barcelona goes beyond the club, as he has been a regular attendee to cultural, social and sport events, becoming a representation of the international and diverse spirit of the capital.
A cornerstone of the CUPRA Tribe
With a remarkable football career and unique playing style, Marc ter Stegen is one of FC Barcelona’s best performing goalkeepers in the club’s history. The professional player, who is celebrating his 10th season at the club, has won no less than 16 titles with FC Barcelona, including a UEFA Champions League (2015) as well as five Spanish Leagues and five Copa del Rey. Ter Stegen has also made 40 appearances for the German national team, winning the 2017 Confederations Cup.
“The CUPRA Tribe is a group of people who, just like the brand, challenge the status quo and are not afraid to take the necessary risks to win,” said Ignacio Prieto, Chief Brand Officer of CUPRA. “Marc ter Stegen was one of the first members of the Tribe and we are happy to continue collaborating with him to keep inspiring the world from Barcelona, together”.
The renewal of Marc ter Stegen strengthens the future of the CUPRA Tribe, a team of ambassadors who are the driving force of change in their respective disciplines. The brand recently welcomed Oscar-nominated film director J.A. Bayona, and the winner of the first-ever Formula E race, driver Lucas Di Grassi. They join street artist TVBoy, Olympic gold medallists Adam Peaty and Saul Craviotto, and two-time Ballon d'Or and Best FIFA Award-winning footballer Alexia Putellas.
