As the Champions League prepares to resume after the winter break, UEFA has unveiled the new match ball that will be used for the knockout stages and the final of the 2023-24 competition. Named the 'UCL Pro Ball London,' this ball, created by adidas, pays tribute to the host city of the final, as well as English football culture as a whole.
The UCL Pro Ball London stands out with its vibrant orange and yellow design. It features various symbols associated with English football, including two roaring lions amidst a backdrop of Champions League star motifs. UEFA has stated that the lions symbolize the bravery and strength required to navigate through the knockout stages and ultimately lift the highly sought-after European club football trophy.
