May 25, 2018, by Chris
The official Bundesliga soccer ball is made by Derbystar for the first time, replacing Adidas.

Derbystar 18-19 Bundesliga Football
This is the new Derbystar 2018-19 ball.
While the last Bundesliga ball by Adidas boasted an unusual white, blue and yellow look, the first-ever Derbystar Brilliant APS Bundesliga ball is closely inspired by the Bundesliga logo. The new Derbystar 2018-19 Bundesliga football is white with black / grey applications and striking red details.
If we look at the tech, the Derbystar Bundesliga 18-19 ball is nothing new but the well-known Derbystar Brilliant APS, the brand's high-end soccer ball. The Derbystar APS has a traditional panel design and a 'snakeskin like' upper structure.
The new Bundesliga 18-19 ball was unveiled on May 25 2018 and is set for a debut when Bundesliga 2 kicks off in early August. It retails at EUR 140 in the OMB variant and will also be available to buy as replica and mini ball.

Tunisia Captain's Shirt Number Peels Off in 2026 World Cup Match
Tunisia captain Ellyes Skhiri experienced a notable kit malfunction during the 2026 FIFA World Cup Group F match against the Netherlands. The number on the back of his Kappa jersey began peeling off during the first half, leaving the digit hanging loosely from the shirt as he continued to play.
Despite the visible issue, the referee did not immediately intervene, allowing Skhiri to play on with the damaged kit for some time. The midfielder eventually had to change his jersey mid-game to resolve the problem. The kit trouble also caused a brief delay at the start of the second half, as Skhiri was late returning from the tunnel, leaving his teammates waiting on the pitch.
