MADRID, April 01, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Skechers Football continues building its world-class roster by signing the brand’s first elite Spanish female player—Misa Rodríguez, goalkeeper for Real Madrid CF and a member of the championship-winning 2023 Spanish National Team. Rodríguez, who has been playing in Skechers Football boots since last year, will also appear in marketing campaigns as an ambassador for the brand.
"I am honored to be the first Spanish female football player to represent this brand, which is growing and will be one of the best in the world of football in a short time due to the comfort and quality of the boots and its brand in general," said Misa Rodríguez, who competes in the Skechers SKX_1.5 Elite boot.
"We are very proud to have a player like Misa in the Skechers Football family, who, among many characteristics, stands out for her confidence, leadership, strength, and precision," explains Txerra Díaz, Country Manager of Skechers. "We continue to strengthen our position in the sport with a product of exceptional quality, already recognized for offering a technicality and comfort that allow for better and greater performance on the field."
Misa Rodríguez is a world-class goalkeeper, recognized for her brilliant career in Spanish football and international competitions. Throughout her career, she has worn the jerseys of Club Atlético de Madrid, Real Club Deportivo de La Coruña and Real Madrid, her current team. As for the National Team, her official debut was in 2021, and in 2023, she was part of the team that became World Cup champions.
