📲Top 2025 reveals: PokeLens, Columbo, Clash Royale & more👑 | OneFootball

Posting a photo of a new signing with his new jersey? Nah. Too simple, too few interactions. This article is a tribute to all those social media managers, graphic designers, or marketing experts who came up with different kinds of announcements.

Let’s take a look at the most imaginative and memorable official social media announcements in the football world in 2025.

Colombo "Lieutenant and Christopher" + Cornet (Twice)

Genoa wins this contest hands down (no prize though) with the announcements of Colombo as "Lieutenant Colombo" and "Christopher Columbus," but that’s not all.

Cornet was announced in January with a reference to "Corn Flakes" and in the summer transfer window with two more food puns: "I pop Corn-et" and "Cornet e caffé" (watch the video here).

Pohjanpalo to Palermo on Clash Royale

A graphically simple announcement but one that strikes a chord (and perhaps reminds many Clash Royale players of unnecessary spending). Pohjanpalo’s announcement is based precisely on this game.

Lens: Simpsons, Jumanji, and Pokemon

The "Genoa of France" when it comes to social media announcements is definitely Lens, which used the Simpsons for Abdulhamid Saud (watch the video here).

Then they used Jumanji for Juma Bah (watch the video here) and Pokemon to present Agbonifo (watch the video here).

The frozen jersey for "Iceman" - David

The arrival of Jonathan David gave Juventus the chance to play with his nickname "Ice Man." That’s why in the video (click here to watch it) you can actually see David’s jersey after being kept in the freezer.

Haaland meditates on his renewal in the snow

Before officially announcing his contract renewal, Haaland posted a video (watch it here) in which he meditates shirtless in the snow, before the words appear: "I'm here to stay". He certainly knows how to create the right hype.

Osimhen to Galatasaray and the video with "Limunat"

A much subtler teaser is that of Osimhen to Galatasaray: before the official announcement, the Turkish club released a short video in which you can hear in the background the Neapolitan version of the song "ERA - Ameno", created in 2021 and which went viral on social media.

Buchanan to Villarreal as Baywatch

Villarreal announced the signing of Buchanan from Inter using Baywatch, the famous show from the '80s. The hook lies in the name of one of the characters: Mitch Buchannon. Click here to watch the video.

Saturday Night Fever... with Papu

Papu Gomez is back playing football with Padova: the club took the opportunity to shoot a video showing the city and reviving "Saturday Night Fever," the iconic late '70s film. Click here to watch the video.

Mbeumo says goodbye to Brentford Interstellar style

Bryan Mbeumo wanted to say goodbye to Brentford fans with a video on his personal channels together with the club: a montage of his best moments with the Bees in Interstellar style, complete with acting by the striker. Click here to watch the video.
