Iker Casillas is Saily’s new Brand Ambassador

Who is Iker Casillas?

Iker Casillas is widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers in the history of soccer. He joined Real Madrid’s youth academy at age 9 and went on to become a legend known simply as ”San Iker” (Saint Iker) — he spent over 16 seasons between the posts, making saves that seemed impossible.

With Real Madrid, he won five LaLiga titles and three UEFA Champions League trophies. As captain of the Spanish national team, he led the squad to its first-ever global championship title in 2010 and back-to-back UEFA European Championship victories in 2008 and 2012. He was named Best Goalkeeper in the World by the IFFHS five times and retired as one of the most decorated athletes in football history.

Decades after his debut, Casillas remains one of the most recognized and respected figures in global sports.

An eSIM deal built for fans who travel to support their team

Every year, millions of fans travel across the world to cheer on their teams — and the first thing they need when they land is an internet connection.

Iker Casillas knows this firsthand. His career in international soccer took him to stadiums, airports, and cities on every corner of the globe, so he understands what it means to arrive in a new country and need to be connected from the very first moment.

“Soccer is the greatest sport in the world — and not just for what happens on the field. It’s the community, the passion, traveling with your people to support your team... That’s what makes it different. Saily has already been there for so many fans on those trips, and I’m glad to be part of this so they only have to think about one thing: cheering for their team,” says Iker Casillas.

Saily offers affordable eSIM data plans in more than 200 destinations. The app can be set up before departure and activates automatically upon arrival. No physical SIM card, no lines at the airport, no language barriers, no wasted time hunting for coverage when you need it most.

What are the benefits of traveling with Saily and Iker?

Summer and travel season are right around the corner. Millions of fans, families, and travelers are already planning their trips — making this the perfect moment for this partnership.

“Traveling to support your team is a big part of a soccer fan’s life. Having a reliable, affordable, uninterrupted connection is essential when you’re abroad. Our goal is for fans to stop worrying and focus on cheering and sharing those winning moments from the stands — without stressing over roaming charges or wasting time looking for Wi-Fi,” says Matas Čenys, head of product at Saily.

As part of this partnership, Saily is offering an exclusive promotion running from June 10 to July 19, 2026. Travelers who use the code CASILLAS will receive 35% off plans for Mexico, the United States, and Canada — or 15% off any other destination worldwide.

The partnership spans 12 months and includes a global digital campaign across Casillas’s and Saily’s own channels. Iker will also host two meet-and-greet events in Mexico and Spain.

This collaboration marks a key milestone in Saily’s international growth — putting a trusted, world-class athlete at the center of the conversation about travel connectivity.
