Live Bar December 13 news UEFA official website posted an article on the Champions League knockout match ball, indicating that the "white night" of St. Petersburg summer (referring to the long summer day time in St. Petersburg) inspired the Champions League ball designed by Adidas, which is used in the Champions League knockout rounds and finals.
Adidas recently unveiled the official match ball for the knockout stage of the 2021/22 Champions League, inspired by the "white nights" of the summer in St. Petersburg, the host city of the final. Between May and July, in Russia's "northern capital," the sun doesn't set, but the stars will compete on May 28 at the final stage at the Gazprom arena to win one of the biggest club-level awards in the world.
The new ball will be used for the remainder of the Champions League and features a thermally bonded structure, a solid polyurethane surface covering, a diamond-shaped skeleton and a premium butyl padding.
Adidas has been a partner of UEFA for decades and will also be a sponsor of Euro 2024 in Germany and all UEFA women's matches in 2021-2025.
