La Liga 2025 Anti-Racism Ball Revealed - La Liga Teams Refuse to Use Ball Because of Design
Apr 1, 2025, by Chris
- Anti-Racism Ball Design: La Liga created a special "VS Racism" match ball with colorful brush stroke accents as part of its anti-discrimination campaign.
- Team Rejection: La Liga teams refused to use the anti-racism ball because they disliked the design.
- Ball Replacement: La Liga introduced a third orange ball for rounds 30 until the end of the season, after using a yellow winter ball in round 29 due to the anti-racism ball's rejection.
Update: The La Liga 2024-2025 anti-racism football is available from some retailers. However, the ball remains a piece of history that was never used, as the teams did not like the design and therefore rejected it. Puma will never officially launch the football on the market.
Update: La Liga's anti-racism ball was due to make its debut last weekend on matchday 29. However, it was not used because the clubs did not like it.
As a result, the yellow winter ball was used in round 29 last weekend. La Liga will introduce a third orange ball to be used from round 30 until the end of the season.
