Audi of America has debuted a national campaign spot, “The Driven”, starring Real Salt Lake midfielder, Diego Luna. Launched as part of the Summer of Audi Sales Event, the spot celebrates the relentless pursuit of excellence shared by elite athletes and Audi, as soccer reaches new heights in the United States.
As soccer continues to grow in cultural influence across the U.S., Audi builds on more than a decade of partnership with Major League Soccer (MLS), championing the athletes and moments driving the sport forward. The campaign is rooted in a belief shared by the brand and athletes alike: progress is never finished.
“Being an athlete builds in you this innate refusal to stay stagnant, always pushing toward your next personal best, and Audi’s campaign really speaks to that,” said Diego Luna. “It was incredible to work with a brand that’s just as obsessed with raising its own bar.”
Luna represents a new generation of players who are helping shape the future of soccer in America. Since joining MLS, he has emerged as one of the league’s brightest young stars, earning MLS All-Star honors in 2024 and 2025, being named 2024 MLS Young Player of the Year, and receiving the 2025 Audi Goals Drive Progress Impact Award for his mental health advocacy efforts.
Audi has a longstanding commitment to soccer globally and has partnered with MLS in the U.S. since 2015. As the league’s Official Automotive Partner, Audi plays a central role in its most competitive moments, serving as title sponsor of the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs and presenting sponsor of the MLS Golden Boot, MLS Cup MVP, and MLS Cup, while also supporting the season as presenting sponsor of the Team of the Matchday digital series and an official partner of the MLS All-Star Game.
