Stunning Nike 2019 Copa America Final Ball Released
Jul 5, 2019, by Chris
Brazil will face Peru in the 2019 Copa America final on Sunday, July 7th in the Maracana. Now CONMEBOL revealed that the game to determine the new South American champion will have a special edition of the tournament's official ball.
Nike Rabisco 2019 Copa America Final Ball
The CONMEBOL Copa América Brazil 2019 final ball is white, black and gold, based on the same design as the Rabisco ball used in all other matches. Since its creation, Nike Rabisco was designed to value street culture by providing graffiti characteristics that are spread throughout the country.
The swoosh, Nike’s logo, further enhances this story with the effect of aerosol painting and on the other hand, the five-star illustration, referring to the number of times Brazil has hosted the competition, the official logo of CONMEBOL Copa América Brazil 2019 and the FIFA quality certification seal.
The Nike Merlin Rabisco final ball will also include the date of the match, the name of the stadium and the flag of the countries of the match. The special edition is a tribute to the final of the world’s oldest national team tournament.
The final match ball preserves the same technical features that have been used during the tournament. Developed by Nike, Rabisco was created with a larger impact surface, reducing the traditional construction from 12 to just four panels. This solution reduced the number of seams by 40%, as well as eliminating hard points and created an ideal point for a more accurate shot.
One of Rabisco’s greatest innovations was, for the first time, the implementation of “All Control Conditions” (ACC) technology in a ball to provide the best touch and control in all weather and field conditions.
The special edition CONMEBOL Copa América Nike Merlin Rabisco final ball is available to buy from July 4.

Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR Collection Leaked
Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool LFSTLR collection for the 26-27 season have surfaced online, courtesy of kit insider @KamilBerberler. Following the popular black and gold capsule from the previous campaign, the newest lifestyle range from Adidas Originals switches direction with a sleek black and vibrant red color palette, merging retro football heritage with contemporary streetwear design.
The standout piece of the collection is a long-sleeve lifestyle jersey finished in a deep black base with a subtle, tonal all-over graphic incorporating the iconic Liver bird. Contrasting vibrant red accents define the look, highlighting the classic Adidas Three Stripes running down the shoulders and sleeves, the ribbed cuffs, and centrally stacked Trefoil and Liver bird logos. A matching full-zip coach track jacket and tailored track pants carry the same stealthy tonal pattern and bright red detailing.
Alongside the tracksuit is a bold red pullover hoodie featuring dark, centered chest emblems and "YNWA" typography printed on the sleeve cuff. Rounding out the lineup is a relaxed-fitting black t-shirt that displays the stacked red logos on the chest, a jacquard "YNWA" pattern knitted into the ribbed crew collar, and an oversized red "YNWA" wordmark across the lower back hem. The new Adidas Liverpool 26-27 LFSTLR range is expected to launch in the coming months.
Black & Gold Liverpool 26-27 Lifestyle Shirt Leaked - Official Images
Official images of the upcoming Adidas Liverpool 26-27 special-edition lifestyle and pre-match shirt have surfaced online, providing the clearest look yet at the luxurious black and gold design. Known unofficially as the "Gold Leaf" jersey, the shirt is set to release during the 26-27 season as part of Adidas's off-pitch and culture range for the club. Big thanks to @KamilBerberler.
The shirt features a stealth black foundation covered by an intricate metallic gold diamond lattice pattern across the front and back of the torso. Each diamond enclosure contains an ornate floral damask motif inspired by traditional Southeast Asian art, honoring Liverpool's vast Thai fanbase. A classic Adidas Trefoil logo appears on the right chest alongside the Liver bird crest on the left, both applied in matching gold.
Completing the design are solid black sleeves and a crossover V-neck collar detailed with a gold inner trim. Tailored as a high-fashion crossover rather than a competitive match kit, this special-edition pre-match and lifestyle shirt will be available in the 26-27 season.
