McDonald’s has long been part of matchday rituals shared by fans everywhere. Whether on the pitch or in the stands, everyone has their own personal McDonald’s memories and experiences—even the most elite soccer superstars.
“Growing up, it was our ritual after soccer tournaments to go to our McDonald’s near Hershey, PA for Chicken McNuggets and a McFlurry,” said U.S. Men’s National Team Star Christian Pulisic. “Those memories were a core part of my childhood and an experience I still share with my teammates today. To now be featured on a McDonald’s collectible cup all these years later is a full-circle moment.”
