Amazon is bringing the UEFA Champions League to Prime Video viewers for the 2024/25 season, and to promote this exciting development, they launched an ad campaign featuring Manchester City forward Phil Foden. The Amazon advert highlights their coverage of this season's Champions League competition, giving UK Prime members the chance to watch 17 exclusive live matches as part of their standard subscription, with no additional fees.
As specialists in providing body doubles, our task was to find a perfect match for Phil Foden in terms of height, weight, and stature. But we always aim to go beyond the basics by ensuring a match in hair, posture, and overall on-set presence. While the brief did not require any playing action, we knew that having a sports talent with semi-professional playing experience was essential. A football player can always recognize another by their movement and posture—something regular sports models may not be able to replicate. That’s why we always focus on athletes for such roles.
We brought in Konrad, our exclusively signed Foden body double. Every detail, from his shoe size and haircut to his height and weight, was spot on. With over 10 years of playing experience, combined with extensive production work, Konrad brought more than just a physical resemblance—he had the knowledge of how to move on set and execute what was needed for a flawless shoot. His dual expertise in sports casting and on-set work made him the perfect fit for the role.
Upon release, aired across online platforms and TV, the production achieved its goal: viewers could hardly tell that a body double had been used! This allowed the production team to focus on perfecting each shot, angle, and motion with Konrad, knowing they had someone who fully embodied Phil Foden’s presence.
Our ability to recruit top-tier sports talent sets us apart in the industry. With a roster of over 1,500 athletes, we are confident that no one else can match our precision in sports casting. Our approach saves time, effort, and costs, ensuring that we deliver exceptional results every time.
