DRYWORLD to deliver Salsa Futsal Ronaldinho Brand Uniforms, Training Gear, and Fan Merchandise through an eCommerce storefront for athletes and fans
Partnership provides a pipeline of new sales opportunities for DRYWORLD through Salsa Futsal's U.S. franchise expansion and dedicated Ronaldinho-branded eCommerce offerings
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., April 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DRYWORLD Brands Inc. (OTC: IBGR) (the 'Company'), a leading sportswear and performance brand, today announced a strategic partnership with Salsa Futsal, a dynamic futsal club, to provide official Ronaldinho brand uniforms, training gear, and fan merchandise as part of their USA expansion. Salsa Futsal, known for its passionate commitment to developing technical skills, creativity, and community within the sport of futsal, will now benefit from DRYWORLD's industry-leading eCommerce expertise and the global appeal of the Ronaldinho brand as they expand their program across the United States.
Salsa Futsal is dedicated to inspiring young athletes to improve their skills, develop a deep love for the game, and embrace the joy of movement.

The collaboration with DRYWORLD will support Salsa Futsal's expansion, providing the franchise network with high-quality, performance-driven gear and an added connection to one of football's most legendary players.
Ronaldinho's impact on the sport of futsal has been transformative. Known as one of the most skillful and creative footballers in history, he has inspired countless young players to embrace the smaller, faster-paced version of the game. Futsal, which emphasizes close ball control, quick decision-making, and intricate footwork, perfectly aligns with Ronaldinho's unique playing style. He has elevated the sport's global recognition and popularity, especially in countries where futsal has deep roots. Ronaldinho's advocacy for the sport has helped bridge the gap between futsal and mainstream football, making it a vital part of training for future football stars. His influence continues to inspire a new generation to master the art of futsal, shaping both the future of the game and the skills of future football legends.
'I love futsal. Growing up my first football steps were made at futsal and I am honored to have my name and brand associated with Salsa Futsal as they bring the beauty and excitement of futsal to young players in the USA,' stated Ronaldinho, football legend and brand ambassador. 'Futsal is a powerful tool for developing a player's technique, creativity, and passion for the game. Through this partnership with DRYWORLD, I am excited to see how the Ronaldinho brand will inspire future generations to play with joy, improve their skills, and love the game as much as I do.'
With DRYWORLD's established reputation as an innovative sportswear provider and ability to scale products through eCommerce, this partnership brings significant benefits to both brands. Salsa Futsal will gain access to top-tier uniforms and gear that embody the essence of global football legend Ronaldinho, while DRYWORLD will leverage the expansion of Salsa Futsal to increase its brand presence and reach within the rapidly growing futsal community in the USA.
'Partnering with Salsa Futsal is an exciting opportunity for DRYWORLD to bring the Ronaldinho brand to a vibrant and passionate new community in the USA,' stated Co-CEO Brian McKenzie. 'Salsa Futsal's dedication to improving technical skills and building a community around futsal aligns perfectly with our values. This collaboration allows us to combine our eCommerce expertise with one of the most recognizable football brands in the world, giving Salsa Futsal athletes and fans access to premium products while also supporting the growth of futsal in North America.'
'We're thrilled to partner with DRYWORLD and introduce Ronaldinho's iconic brand to our players and fans,' said Marcelo Sarvas, Director Norco of Salsa Futsal. 'Futsal is a sport that celebrates skill, creativity, and teamwork, and Ronaldinho is the perfect representation of those values. With this partnership, we're not only giving our athletes world-class gear, but also reinforcing the connection between technical excellence and the joy of the game. This collaboration supports our vision to develop better players and better individuals across the USA as we expand our franchise.'
Salsa Futsal has announced new locations launching in Santa Clarita and Orange County. These regions, known for their vibrant youth sports communities and passion for soccer, will soon benefit from Salsa Futsal's dynamic programming that emphasizes creativity, technical development, and devotion to the game. With the addition of the Ronaldinho brand and DRYWORLD's high-performance gear, players in Santa Clarita and Orange County will have access to elite-level training and equipment designed to inspire the next generation of futsal talent.

How a ‘little girl with a huge dream' made her way to Formula 1's Canadian Grand Prix
Most 16-year-olds are working on finding themselves. Some are learning to drive, many are nervously courting crushes and others are finding hobbies to distract themselves from the mundanity of school and adolescence. Mathilda Paatz has been focusing her attention on racing 240 kilometres an hour, thousands of miles from home, in a metronomically engineered car. She will race at the Canadian Grand Prix this weekend as the wild-card driver in the F1 Academy , a female-only racing championship designed to feed promising young drivers into F2 and F3, the lower tiers of the international racing hierarchy. MONTREAL (AP) — Lance Stroll has been cleared to race at the Canadian Grand Prix this weekend It's an unconventional track for a 16-year-old, but one that is firmly in Paatz's blood. A native of Cologne, Germany, she got into racing through her father, Michael, who drove primarily in endurance championships in Europe. As if she needed any more inspiration to get involved, her father's racing team bears her name: Mathilda Racing. 'It's always been a passion and I was always behind the wheel,' she told the Star. 'When I first got into a kart, I just felt like this is my spot, I want to do more, and so I kept going.' The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal is, in Paatz's words, a technical track that will be difficult to drive, especially for younger drivers. At just over four kilometres in length, it takes most fewer than two minutes per lap. Drivers zoom down its long straights and around the small lake in the centre of Île Notre-Dame, a man-made island in the Saint Lawrence River. It has been a part of the Formula One calendar since its opening in 1978 and has hosted the likes of Lewis Hamilton , Max Verstappen and Michael Schumacher. MONTREAL - Max Verstappen knows he's at risk of a suspension. 'It's a street circuit, so the walls are quite close. You have to be very precise with the driving,' Paatz said, speaking hours after her pre-race walk-through. 'Everything happens really fast. It's quite a difficult track in my opinion, but I'm excited.' Paatz will be debuting a Gatorade-branded car and race suit to coincide with the drink company's announcement of a partnership with the F1 Academy that runs until 2030. The partnership, which is part of the brand's 'Fuel Tomorrow' initiative, is framed as a 'groundbreaking collaboration' intended to break down barriers in motorsport. The partnership allows Gatorade to 'bring our decades of sports science expertise directly to the next generation of elite drivers,' Umi Patel, Pepsico's vice president of marketing innovation and hydration brands Umi Patel said in a statement. 'By supporting young women at the start of their motorsport journey, we not just setting them up for success at such a pivotal part of their career, we are encouraging them to see what is in them and fuel their drive and ambition for success.' Paatz says that the course in Montreal is a technical and difficult one due to its tight, street-oriented structure. 'It's a great support driving here in F1 Academy,' Paatz said. 'Their support is very great and it's a great brand to work with. I'm very honoured.' Paatz won't be the youngest competitor in the race; she'll be racing against two other 16-year-olds, Australia's Joanne Ciconte and Denmark's Alba Larsen, who were born later than her. 'We've known each other for quite some time, when we made the first steps into single-seaters, so it's very nice to see them back on track,' she said. Her message to young women and girls interested in racing is simple: There are ample resources popping up to develop and nurture female drivers, and all it takes is a good attitude and a persistent work ethic. After all, she was once just a dreamer. 'When you look at me, I've also been just a little girl with a huge dream,' Paatz said. 'I want to make an idol for other girls by trying my best.'
