    DE-AGING TECHNOLOGY REUNITES RACHEL YANKEY OBE WITH HER NINE-YEAR-OLD SELF TO
    SPARK A DEBATE ABOUT CONFIDENCE

    GATORADE RESEARCH REVEALS 40% OF TEEN GIRLS LACK CONFIDENCE IN SPORT*

    Today, as the world anticipates the UEFA Women's Champions League Final in
    Bilbao, Spain, Gatorade research* reveals 40% of teen girls lack confidence in
    sport, a key driver to the athletes of tomorrow dropping out of sports. As part
    of its commitment to help 2.5 million teens worldwide access the transformative
    power of sport by 2030, Gatorade confronts the issue of confidence by unveiling
    an emotive film where former England footballer, Rachel Yankey OBE, talks
    confidence with a version of her younger self, created using de-aging
    technology.

    The film addresses issues that impact confidence such as gender inequality in
    teen football, social media scrutiny on girls, and a lack of female coaches. It
    captures Yankey meeting her 9-year-old self, who she called Ray. As a child,
    Yankey cut off her hair, and pretended to be a boy, so she could play football.
    Yankey admits 'Ray' made her feel 'free', undeterred by challenges like
    exclusion from boy's teams.

    Yankey talks with her younger self, recalling her determination to play football
    despite male players' objections. The story then unfolds with interviews between
    Yankey and three young female players from today, each revealing they are
    treated differently because they play football and talking about the impact on
    their confidence to stay and play football. Despite there being more girls
    playing football today than ever before, they are still facing the same issues
    Yankey did when she was eight years old, in the 1980s.

    Speaking about the Rachel Meets Ray film, created by Gatorade, former England
    Lioness and Arsenal Women's player, Rachel Yankey OBE says, "I want this film to
    send a message that there is still a long way to go before we have complete
    equity across football for women and men. Talking to my 9-year-old-self left me
    speechless and brought home the pride I have in my younger self. Ray made me
    feel free. She was undeterred by what anybody else thought of her, and I think
    it was this resilience within myself that I hope I can pass on to today's young
    footballers."

    To make a positive change, Gatorade will bring global legends Rachel Yankey OBE,
