With the start of the playoffs and the direct elimination phase, the Champions League … change the ball. To enter the scene is Adidas Pro Ball Munich, the ball with which all the meetings will be held until the final of the Allianz Arena in Munich scheduled scheduled for May 31. Made by the German company, for years partner of the most famous European club competition, the design celebrates the status of Monaco as a gateway to the Bavarian Alps and supports the stars of the Champions League in white with green hexagons and copper, in hint to the colors of the roofs and the typical buildings of the city. Inside the green and copper panels, small graphics recall the most famous images of Bavaria: the Alps, the Lion of the Palatine, the Alpine Stars, the Waldlerhaus, the English garden and the hops, a typical product of the region.

TECHNOLOGY

The official ball is characterized by a series of technological innovations. The innovative prism surface with relief motif guarantees more precise trajectories and effects. The external coating offers more adherence and total control, while the seamless thermosalous structure is designed for the maximum performance. Inside, the revolutionary CTR-Core, optimized to guarantee precision and constancy, promotes a quick and precise game while maintaining the shape and holding the air to the maximum. The nucleus consists of two components: a renewable natural rubber air chamber and the double -layer pes fabric carcass that gives resistance and shape. In addition to using recycled polyester and water-based ink, the 2024-25 balls are made with multiple substances of biological origin compared to the previous official balloons of the Champions League. Each layer includes materials such as corn fiber, sugar cane, wooden paste and rubber, without affecting performance.

Partnership

Thanks to the partnership between Adidas and Common Goal, 1% of the net world sales of the Adidas balls – including the latter version – contributes to initiatives that favor a lasting social change in the less served communities, to create a better and more inclusive future through Football.
