Football is the world's most unpredictable game, but some players make it look like they control time. The Nike United Pack celebrates six women who don't just play football. They transform it.

Lauren James, Salma Paralluelo, Sophia Wilson, Deyna Castellanos, Naomi Girma, and Patri Guijarro.

Welcome to the Wicked Game
CHOOSE YOUR PLAYER

Lauren James – The Striking Viper

Movement hypnotic, touch venomous. Lauren plays with joy that hides something lethal underneath. Her body feints are spells, her pace a trap.

“I cast a spell on my opponents,” she says. “They can't read me.”

Defenders guess where she's going. She's already gone. The smile she leaves behind is the warning sign.

Naomi Girma – The Firestarter

Sparks from the backline. Composure that burns through pressure. Naomi sees the whole pitch like it's mapped in her mind. Every interception becomes ignition for attack.

“I'm composed. I'm a team player. I love to win,” she says. “The wicked touch of Tiempo is effortless.”

Her presence is power. Her calm feels dangerous.

Patri Guijarro – The Mastermind

Two steps ahead. Always calm. Always calculating. Patri reads the game like a grandmaster planning ten moves in advance. She doesn't react to pressure. She makes it.

“My rivals can't take the ball off me,” she says, smiling. “Tiempo adapts to my feet and gives me even better control.”

Her touch is language, her vision orchestral. Patri doesn't need noise to dominate. She does it through rhythm and precision.

Salma Paralluelo – The Flash of Fear

Fast enough to bend light. Controlled enough to finish it.

“Wicked speed is in my blood,” she says. “It's about getting open, moving fast on the pitch and going straight to the goal.”

Salma moves like lightning cracking through a storm. Every sprint splits the pitch open. Every strike leaves an echo.

Deyna Castellanos – The Sharpshooter

Aim perfect. Mind sharper.

“If I faced myself on the pitch, I'd feel scared because I know what I bring.”

Deyna sees patterns before they form. Every pass is a plan, every shot a decision.

“The ball at my feet. The world at my mercy.” Wicked precision runs through her game. When she moves, the rest of the pitch holds its breath.

Sophia Wilson – The Smiling Assassin

Stillness before chaos. Joy before the kill.

“I keep crystals in my locker for good vibes,” she laughs. “A lot of people think I'm sweet, but a different side comes out when I'm on the field.”

Sophia's control is surgical. Her finishing leaves no second chances. She's all smiles until the moment she strikes, and then she's cold as steel.

CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON

Wicked Speed | Nike Mercurial

For players who live in motion.

The Nike Mercurial channels raw pace through every step. Powered by Zoom Air and a tuned traction plate, it's made for the ones who don't wait to be invited in.

Lauren James and Salma Paralluelo bring this boot to life. They move with rhythm and acceleration that feels supernatural. Mercurial turns energy into separation. It's the weapon for players who finish the fight before it starts.

Wicked Precision | Nike Phantom

For creators who turn instinct into accuracy.

The Nike Phantom 6 takes Sophia Wilson's control and Deyna Castellanos' lethal focus and gives them shape. The new Tuned Gripknit upper locks the ball to your touch. The Cyclone 360 plate allows quick cuts without losing balance.

Every pass has intent. Every finish carries weight. Phantom is art that hurts to defend against.

Wicked Touch | Nike Tiempo

For players who make every movement look effortless.

The Nike Tiempo gives Patri Guijarro and Naomi Girma that calm edge, the power to slow a game down while everyone else speeds up.

FlyTouch Plus leather wraps the foot like memory, soft yet controlled. The fit moulds to your shape and never loses form. It's built for quiet dominance, for those who prefer intelligence over chaos.

Tiempo is control made visible.

The United Six

Six players. Three boots. One shared purpose. Each one plays differently, but together they redefine what power looks like. Patri and Naomi control tempo with Wicked Touch. Lauren and Salma attack with Wicked Speed. Sophia and Deyna create with Wicked Precision. Every movement connects. Every style matters.

The Nike United Pack celebrates individuality through unity. These players come from different countries and cultures, but they share one truth: when they step on the pitch, they become something more.

Enter the Wicked Game

This isn't about fantasy. It's about what happens when preparation meets instinct. When confidence turns into chaos. When the game slows for those who move faster than thought. Six stars lighting up the future of football. Three boots built to match their power. The Wicked Game belongs to the players who believe in their own ability and play like the world is watching.

Wicked Touch. Wicked Speed. Wicked Precision.
Choose your player. Choose your weapon. Change the game.
