“I am honored to represent Lotto on and off the field. The brand is legendary and brings years of soccer history and product innovation,” shared Sofia. “Their values and vision are parallel with my goals, and the support they have given to grow the game of soccer aligns with my hope to leave the game better than I found it.”
