With the business end of the UEFA Women’s Champions League fast approaching, adidas has revealed the official match ball set to grace the knockout rounds and final, and it features a design inspired by Lisbon, the host city of the final.
Ready to make its debut on 18 March for the quarterfinals, the new Women’s Champions League knockout ball is a fitting tribute to Lisbon, the host city for this season’s showpiece event in May. Draped in a striking white and blue base, accented with vibrant orange and yellow, the design takes inspiration from Portugal’s capital. The intricate star panel detailing is a nod to Lisbon’s famed “azulejos” – the iconic porcelain tiles that adorn its historic buildings. A perfect blend of tradition and innovation, this ball is primed for the biggest stage.
Pushing the boundaries of performance, the ball features adidas’ cutting-edge PRISMA surface technology, engineered for enhanced precision and swerve. A textured outer coating ensures supreme grip and control, while a thermally bonded seamless construction delivers elite-level consistency. At its core lies the pioneering CTR-CORE, a next-gen innovation designed to optimise shape retention and flight stability.
Beyond performance, sustainability remains a key focus. This season’s ball is adidas’ most eco-conscious UEFA Women’s Champions League match ball to date, incorporating recycled polyester and water-based ink, alongside bio-based materials such as corn fibres, sugar cane, wood pulp, and natural rubber.
With its bold aesthetic and game-changing tech, adidas once again sets the standard for the beautiful game. Expect to see this masterpiece lighting up Europe’s biggest stage when the action resumes in March.
