DFL and Derbystar, a German manufacturer of sports balls and clothing belonging to the Danish group Select Sport, have presented the new official ball for Bundesliga and 2.Bundesliga matches for the 2020-21 season on 18/06/2020.

"In contrast to the designs for the previous two seasons, Derbystar has opted for a design that features two striking colours for the 2020-21 season. In addition to the visual aspect of the new design, the 3D structure on the material surface is intended to make for an even more stable trajectory and precise ball control as well as to optimise grip for goalkeepers. Thanks to the special white panels, the match ball is easy to see for players and spectators alike, especially under LED light," explained the German League.

The German brand is an official partner of the Bundesliga and 2.Bundesliga for the 2018-2022 cycle. "Back in the 1970-71 season, Derbystar was present in the Bundesliga as a result of numerous club partnerships. In the 1979-80 season, all 306 Bundesliga matches were played with balls made by Derbystar," said the DFL.
