Niko Kappel is always up for a laugh. In addition to his entertaining qualities as a JAKO brand ambassador, he is also one of the best para shot putters in the world.

It was only in 2015 that Niko Kappel moved up to the international senior level, and then his career suddenly took off. In the following two years, he crowned his athletic career with a gold medal at the 2016 Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro and the 2017 world championship title in London. He repeated this success in 2024 in Kobe.

With 15.07 meters, he holds the current world record in the F41 para shot put and is far from done. At the end of September, he will travel to India for the World Championships.

In addition to sports, the 30-year-old is committed to inclusion and supports a wide variety of projects and campaigns with his friendly, dedicated manner.

The 32-year-old football freestyler from Düsseldorf combines elements of football, acrobatics, and breakdancing in his spectacular tricks — a unique mix that he impressively showcases on his Instagram channel. Mo Jamal began his athletic career playing traditional football. Through his passion for breakdancing, he developed his own style, merging both worlds.

This is how he developed his very own approach to soccer freestyle – an art form in which he expresses his creativity in ever-changing tricks and impressive shows. Mo Jamal has been a JAKO brand ambassador since 2022 and is always ready to perform – whether at the JAKO retailer days or at the World Gymnaestrada 2023 in Amsterdam.

German champions, club world champions, beach football ambassadors, top 100 players in the world – beach football players and JAKO brand ambassadors Marcel Nowak and Joscha Metzler have an impressive list of achievements to their name. But beach football is not just a sport for the two of them, it is their passion.

In addition to tournaments, the two have made a name for themselves on TikTok and Instagram under the name “Volleypass.” There, they regularly provide their followers with creative and entertaining content about their favorite sport. Volleypass is also a beachsoccer academy that aims to raise awareness of the sport. With numerous kids’ camps, they promote young talent and inspire young people to take up the sport on sand.

For Diyar Acar, everything revolves around football. He became a star on TikTok with his football tricks, and millions of fans now follow him on social media for his unusual football content. He thrills fans on YouTube with “Find the Pro,” competing against well-known footballers such as Deniz Undav, Arturo Vidal, and Marco Reus in challenges.

JAKO and Diyar have also implemented numerous successful projects, including a match between VfB Stuttgart's U19 team and a selection from the “Find the Pro” format. A joint jersey project reflected their shared passion for innovative design and team sports.
