They present the ball of the Champions League final

The official match ball ‘UCL Pro Ball Istanbul’, specially designed for the highly anticipated UEFA Champions League final, was unveiled in Istanbul. While the UCL Pro Ball bears iconic traces of the host city Istanbul’s football culture and history, it also reflects the spirit of the UEFA Champions League final, which took place in Istanbul in the 2004/05 season.

Inspired by the colors of the ball from the 2004/05 UEFA Champions League final, the official ball has a striking design that celebrates the unique location of Istanbul. The dark blue background, gold and silver details pay homage to the most exciting matchup the competition has ever seen. Gold motifs represent the city’s ancient history and culture, while silver details mark the coveted UEFA Champions League Cup, for which teams compete.

Each of the iconic white stars symbolizes the bridges connecting Europe and Asia, while the blue and orange lines outside the stars represent both continents. With its unique design, UCL Pro Ball Istanbul immortalizes the link between football’s most ambitious club championship and Istanbul.

Along with its unique design, the UCL Pro Ball Istanbul incorporates a number of performance technologies, including the innovative PRISMA surface texture that offers Europe’s best players greater precision on the ball. The outer texture coating, found on all official UEFA Champions League balls, offers a secure grip and total control, while the thermally bonded seamless construction allows for the highest level of performance.
