Soccer (futbol) is perhaps the only sport in the world in which the ball is given the same preferential treatment as the rest of the gear. The latest example of this is the official match ball for the UEFA Champions League Final 2013.
Earlier today, adidas, unveiled the UCL Wembley Finale match ball, which will be used for the remainder of the season leading up to the Champions League Final at Wembley Staium on May 25. Designed to celebrate the premiere soccer league in the world, the ball pays homage to the rich history of matches played at the legendary arena.
How does this ball stack up against the Nike Maxim Hi-Vis?
