Nike - Airport '98

The 1998 Brazil football team are waiting for a plane to the World Cup, and get bored...

This was a great era for Brazil, when Ronaldo was young and Romário was still playing.

The song used is 'Mas Que Nada' by Tamba Trio

[@Vebinz]

The 1998 World Cup was so wonderful, both in teams, games, and commercials.

[@MrIceman001]

I remember when I was a 8 yo and I saw this commercial in TV. My father always changed the channel and I was like: oh, I will never gonna watch this commercial and his beautiful song. Now I have watched it. Thanks KZbin.

[@mellosays]

The last great Brazilian football team.

[@krazyhatter6479]

Hmm 2006

[@lucaalberici7610]

2006 Was a great team too

[@jexunleashed566]

Those of us with Brazilian blood are good because we play for passion and fun, not for money and fame.

[@reyhanalexander3574]

And some says that this entire ad only took one shoot, just how good the team was

[@nubhevupni]

One of my favorite commercials ever - evidenced by the fact that I remember it from so long ago, and I'm not even a futbol fan.

[@EmziTV]

Listened to this at the airport while waiting for a connecting flight a few weeks ago, felt like I was in 1998, simpler and seemingly happier times

[@dvogirma]

ahh those were happy days

[@Chugboat2006]

It's called "Mas Que Nada" by Tamba Trio (there's a more common version done by Sergio Mendes, but it's not the one on this advert). It's a great song, I love it. =)

[@HoChiMints2007]

Romario, Ronaldo, Bebeto, Roberto Carlos...damn, strong team

[@Ing.madero]

***** Excelentes Jugadores nadamas falto Ronaldinho

[@vladponomarenko2416]

true but zidanefriends were stronger

[@sobemufti]

Cameo by Eric Cantona :D This is one of my favourite commercials.

[@damnrightecua]

I remember this commercial back in 1998 when I was a child, Ronaldo is a legend I started playing soccer/football because of this phenomenon.

[@schwarze22]

Brazil 98 , my first world cup in my life & the best memory forever , this seleçao with all the many amazing stars *dream*

[@MissSixtiesPennyLane]

I miss my old team, my old boys...... Bebeto, Cafu, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldinho, Leonardo, Dunga and Ronaldo..... the unstoppable! :D 11 days of mournng for 11 players out of the world cup! :(

[@Cheltdizzle]

My childhood.

[@chivamex1000]

A true classic!!! One of the BEST commercials of all time and among my personal favorites!!! Brasil is the absolute best in football. Watching them play makes me wish I was Brazilian. Too bad Pelé couldn't be in the commercial. Brasil, future hexa champion. 6 world titles ******

[@andeefcb]

this ad is one of my first football memories :')

[@bangzee4383]

Brazillian born to play a football

[@Taxidermistification]

This brings back memories, World Cup '98 and when I used to love football as a kid.

[@tommcfc10]

I had this on video, recorded after it had been only been on a couple of times. As a kid i would watch this thousands of times!

[@jh230377]

Greatest World Cup Advert ever!!!!!

[@batterseapark78]

Farewell to Ronaldo, one of the greatest players in the history. WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU, forever!

[@juxhin000]

denilson: the star that never shined

[@elaxel1469]

I was 15 yo playing football at the school, those good old days...

[@sherifhenein994]

Eric Cantina’s appearance was class

[@LS-Moto]

RONALDO AND ROBERTO CARLOS FTW

[@superman31172]

one of the best world cup commercials, i wish brazil could play this style of game again now they look avarage the magic is gone now i this is the real brazil

[@YediSpartan]

The Nike comercials are so good! just nice!

[@toddpinkstonisgod]

Denilson. At the time, he just became the most expensive footballer in the world (Real Betis signed him).

[@rodineisilveira]

Esta campanha da Nike foi rodada no Aeroporto Internacional de Cumbica, em Guarulhos (na Grande São Paulo).

[@gustavobarros3883]

Romário, Gonçalves, Juninho Paulista, Denilson, Zé Roberto, Fenômeno...

[@Chugboat2006]

No problem. I agree. The only thing that'd come close is the old one Sergio did, without BEP, but Tamba Trio are the best.

[@ironman9]

ronaldo best striker of all time

[@rptimao]

bons tempos...

[@ucantburpthis]

PROBABLY the best Nike Football commercial ever but... i don't know.. i just LOVE Good vs Evil ^_^

[@toddpinkstonisgod]

I know, Ronaldo is a striker and Ronaldinho a center midfielder, but I still think you can compare their greatness, within their respective positions. I think by position, Ronaldo has been a better STRIKER than Ronaldinho has been as a MIDFIELDER. Of course Ronaldo has been injury-plagued, but he was truly DOMINANT at both the club and international level.

[@chivamisfit]

can't believe this was 16 years ago!

[@carowho]

aaaaah 1998....what a great sports year.. :)

[@G3ckobain]

What a kickass team Brazil had at that time... well always. Not so much right now though!

[@MSGslonikk]

most beautiful football ever :)

[@x5yph3r]

The song used on the ad is called "Mas Que Nada" by Tamba Trio. =]

[@Widberaba]

“Mais que nada”, de Sérgio Mendes. Very Good!!!

[@Bradford10KalEl]

Greatest Striker to ever play the game R9

[@osl93]

the guy who shot ?! dont u know ronaldo when u see him ?! THE greatest footballer of all time

[@Chugboat2006]

@BeatleSonicNecaxaFan The song is Mas Que Nada by Tamba Trio.

[@alllllllll00]

This is an amazing advert, takes some doing! Pretty much sums up brasil in 98 so close but so far. Ronaldo was back in 2002 though with a score to settle!

[@dicionarioingles]

Ai, que saudade da minha VARIG!!! A grande Estrela Brasileira!!!

[@TheAntreas69]

The best commercial EVER

[@Chugboat2006]

"Mas Que Nada" by Tamba Trio (don't get it confused with the more common version by Sergio Mendes)

[@hamsternaranja4364]

Thank you for sharing "mas que nada" and the name of the singers singing for nike commertial 1998 soundtrack. Now happily I'll be playing football ⚽ and at the same time hearing the song, and remembering my childhood as many people that seen the best Nike commertial in the 90's

[@markwilson4052]

Also another well known one by Jorge Ben.

[@markwilson4052]

And another version by Jorge Ben

[@Chugboat2006]

@Tornado092890 The Joga Bonito campaign was officially launched in 05/06, but they've had similar adverts for years, this one was in the run up to World Cup 98. In many ways it was the first of the Brazillian Joga Bonito-style adverts.

[@typhoonginopilot]

if that ball show was at the air port every time i flew,i would pay 50% more ticket price each time...;-)

[@Jazzingguys]

All that hard work and that last guy fucks it up it's like the mittle finger right in your face !!

[@ToriCaitlyns10]

OH MY FREAKING GOSH!!!!!! HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO RONALDO IS????

[@EpicShinyLapras]

Love the bit at the end.

[@Taxidermistification]

I've been saying that for years. Football fans have short memories. Add to that the weak argument that Messi is the best footballer of all time. No chance! I'd take Batistuta over Messi.

[@BalladalliDilahh]

R9 Ronaldo FOREVER! Also awesome video.

[@jairus]

this ad was my intro to Brasilian futbol

[@KrazyKryz]

those brazilians are born with the ball haha good to see classic ronaldo

[@tcine]

John Woo directed this commercial for the World Cup!

[@angelmireles370]

Para mí, el mejor equipo del 98

[@gabkoost]

I Portuguese and i say: THERE IS ONLY 1 RONALDO! R9 4EVER!

[@JBarg25]

Still great. I don't know if the American broadcasts ever showed the whole thing, but a smaller variant was inescapable if you watched the '98 World Cup in the US.

[@melonand_melons]

@Patinho after the 2006 world cup, the brazil i knew disappeared....

[@Aydee2020]

i might try this at the airport...

[@LuVsOkeR]

dis is awesome

[@heartroutine]

Man, hard to think this was 11 years ago!

[@Chugboat2006]

Mas Que Nada - Tamba Trio

[@theblackestnight]

ad is unrealistic. Ronaldo never misses

[@Loli82]

ahahah!! one of my favourite commercial ever!!!

[@markwilson4052]

The end was fitting🤦🏻‍♂️

[@vibetorres7630]

this. is. awesome.

[@struck57]

at the beggining the team made the two poles as the net at the end the guy who shot hit the post.

[@3girlrhumba]

this is NOT the recording of "mas que nada" that was featured in the original commercial

[@markwilson4052]

No it was a dance type version from what I recall. A sort of remix

[@mgh62000]

I just saw Ronaldo play in São Paulo. He's really fat now, but he's still unbelievably amazing ... well, at least for 5 minutes until he gets tired.

[@AtooZ17]

What a Move !!! he takes shoots heeeeee hits the post:(

[@toddpinkstonisgod]

...I can't say the same for Ronaldinho, especially at the international level. It was because of Ronaldo that Brazil won the '02 World Cup, not Roni. And don't you ever assume I don't know shit about football.

[@AlexHDproductions]

nice video the best!!!

[@tcine]

John Woo directed this!!!

[@jonathanb1406]

Denilson pulling that face at 35 seconds in always catches me well off guard, what is he doing 😂

[@emmansteady]

cantona is everywhere

[@MCKobeBryant]

they don't make em like they used to

[@MrStonecold69]

This is very good also check out "THE WALL" (1994 NIKE) and "Nike over house" EXCELLENT PROMO'S

[@SuperSimonuk]

I miss Cantona

[@bulls7123]

Young Ronaldo!

[@NilsM1989]

my friends and I tried this at the airport... they didn't like it =)

[@hawkingbat]

0:54 A wild Cantona appears

[@vladponomarenko2416]

hawk eye =)

[@patinho5589]

@imalrox they weent without their other all time grat striker - Romario Brazil never lost a game in which Ronaldo and Romario played together.

[@NotDanMartineau]

Maybe if the World Cup itself had been played in an airport lounge Brazil would have won.

[@luisbutti]

Só dá Corinthiano ou ex-corinthiano nesse vídeo ! Ronaldo Fenômeno, Roberto Carlos, Dunga, Vampeta, Dida, Rivaldo....tudo fazendo zona no aeroporto hahahahahaha Foda

[@joe75402]

Onde vc viu Dunga, Vampeta, Dida e Rivaldo aí, ta louco?

[@tkbt]

thanks!

[@toddpinkstonisgod]

So right. Ronaldinho wishes he was as good as Ronaldo. Come to the MLS, Ronaldo!

[@Daynefc18]

Couldn't do that after 9/11

[@julianmilnes9594]

Funny!

[@Ing.madero]

De las ultimas selecciones que practicaba el Joga Bonito

[@jeznunes]

Pior que foi isso mesmo, em 98 bateu na trave =/ Worse than it was even hit the crossbar on 98 = /

[@Kcherry31]

Ok 2 questions. 1. Who was the guy that did the header and went into the luggage checkin. 2. Who was the person sitting at the bar. I know Nike throws in random shots of other futbol stars in the ad. Like Cantona. Just wander who they might be.

[@ar53nalfc]

this was directed by john woo.

[@PGDJ88]

cantona ftw

[@Chugboat2006]

Mas Que Nada by Tamba Trio

[@theblackestnight]

@slacker111 you mean 4 goals, golden ball winner and single handedly dragging brazil to the final including a virtuoso performance against holland the best team at the tournament?

[@Chugboat2006]

there was never a version of this add with the BEP version, do u mean just the song? Nd the most common version of this song was the Sergio Mendes version (this is Tamba Trio) before BEP did their cover of it, for example its used way more than the others in the media as background music, i.e. for tropical Spanish nd Portuguese speaking places etc.

[@Ducksexbody]

He hits the post

[@pappsism]

THUMBS up for the song!!!!!!!
