Champions League: Adidas presents the ball for the 2014 final via its platform Gamedayplus

The sports equipment company Adidas presented the ball for the final of the Champions League, via a video, on 03/02/2014. The colours, blue and orange, were chosen in relation with Lisbon, the city where the final of the competition will be held on 24/05/2014: blue represents the sea and the sky, while the orange colour recalls the roofs of the Portuguese capital.

The ball has been designed with the process of thermal bonding, which does away with the need for stitching. "It then becomes more stable, rounder and takes on less moisture," explained the German supplier. For promotion, the ball is presented by several ambassadors of the German brand. English players Frank Lampard and Gary Cahill, Germans Per Mertesacker and Lukas Podolski and the Portuguese player Nani appear in the video, which was posted on YouTube.
