The Champions League has presented this Wednesday the ball for the 2024-2025 season for both the men’s and women’s competition. It is a classic-looking design that will feature “updated technology” and will once again feature stars from end to end, replacing the “off-center pattern” of the last four years.
In the case of the men’s competition, It will be a “classic design”, in which the stars will be presented in black on white hexagons, with touches of turbo red and solar yellow that give it “a modern touch.”
For its part, the UEFA Women’s Champions League will also have the same line-up of stars and hexagons, but “with three bands along its surface in turbo red and aurora black”which refer to the trophy won by the champion of the competition, which in the last two editions has been FC Barcelona. In addition, the Adidas logo will be in solar yellow to make it stand out.
Both balls feature “a range of performance technologies” from Adidas, designed to “improve accuracy and spin”according to the statement, and with an innovative ‘Prisma’ surface, which features a new relief pattern tested in wind tunnels and in the field.
UEFA marketing director Guy-Laurent Epstein explained that the “iconic” design of these new balls “evokes memories of magical moments” that the tournament has offered throughout its history, and that cutting-edge technology is a “symbol” of the “constant evolution and premium positioning” that defines the competitions.
Adidas’ global football general manager Nick Craggs said that European club football’s “biggest stage” deserves “the best performance technology” to support players on the pitch and “excite fans” around the world. “That’s why We have tirelessly sought new innovations to create the most accurate ball possible,” he added.
“For the next season, we have reorganized the casing to once again feature the end-to-end star panels “These shoes have the same features that made them so iconic, but with a new tread configuration for improved aerodynamics. We can’t wait to see them in action on the feet of some of the world’s best players,” Craggs concluded.
