Cartoon Network MENA is taking its connection with fans beyond the screen through a new collaboration with The Football Academy in Dubai, introducing a collection of specially designed football jerseys and training bibs inspired by some of Cartoon network’s most iconic characters.
Created for the academy’s summer camp program, the jerseys feature fan-favorite characters from The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball, Adventure Time, Ben 10, The Powerpuff Girls and more, incorporating the distinctive characters of each series into the players’ kits.
For generations, Cartoon Network has been a source of entertainment, imagination, and inspiration for kids across the region. Through its partnership with The Football Academy, the brand is extending that connection beyond the screen, becoming part of the activities children are most passionate about. The collaboration offers young fans a new way to engage with their favorite characters while encouraging movement, teamwork and creativity through sport.
As football continues to inspire children across the Middle East, the partnership taps into one of the region’s most beloved pastimes to create meaningful connections beyond entertainment. The initiative reflects Cartoon Network’s commitment to being present wherever kids learn, play, and grow, bringing its characters into real-world experiences that celebrate both imagination and active lifestyles.
Throughout the summer camp, participating children will train in the exclusive Cartoon Network kits, bringing a touch of adventure, fun, and imagination to every session while creating memorable experiences both on and off the field.
