Adidas has revealed the official match ball for the 2024/25 Uefa Champions League knockout phase. Appearing on-pitch from February 11th onwards, the latest ball pays tribute to Munich, host city of the final in May.
The design features the iconic Uefa Champions League stars in white alongside hexagons in a striking green and copper colorway, celebrating the fact that Munich is “the gateway to the Bavarian Alps.”
The colors also take inspiration from the rooftops and buildings seen throughout the city of Munich, with the iconic neo-Gothic diamond patterns speaking to the flags of both Munich and Bavaria.
Featuring within the green and copper block panels are also small graphics celebrating some of Bavaria’s most recognizable features, including the Alps, the Palatine Lion, Edelweiss, the Waldlerhaus, the English Garden, and Hops.
This season’s Uefa Champions League official match ball features a range of adidas technology, which has been rigorously tested in wind tunnels and on pitch to push the boundaries of performance:An innovative Prisma surface with a debossing pattern for improved precision and swerve
An outer texture coating which offers secure grip and complete control, while the thermally bonded seamless construction is built for ultimate performance.
