Authentic Tournament Balls

adidas Created the Official Match Ball for the UEFA Champion's League

— September 20, 2019 — Lifestyle
adidas has recently revealed the official match ball that will be used in the 2019 UEFA Champion's League during the group stage. The company redesigned the ball and added a number of vibrant colors, which take inspiration from the passion toward the tournament that is displayed by both fans and players. The official match ball is now available for purchase on the adidas web store.

One of the most notable features of the ball is the star pattern that runs throughout the design and features black outlines. The star pattern contrasts with the bright blue, orange and yellow colors to create a visually compelling design. The ball has no seams and is thermally bonded, ensuring accuracy. The ball also has a decreased water intake to protect against damage from moisture.
