Check out the special Adidas Champions League 25-Year anniversary ball.

The special Adidas Champions League 3rd/25-Year Anniversary ball is inspired by the first-ever Adidas Champions League ball from 2000-2001. It combines a classic white base with shimmering silver stars, honoring the "silver anniversary" of the partnership. To make the design of the Adidas Champions League 2026 Champions League ball pop, the stars are outlined with deep purple borders, adding a touch of royalty and elegance.

The standout feature of the Adidas 2025-2026 Champions League 3rd ball is a custom graphic placed inside one of the stars. It displays a large '25 YEARS' logo, surrounded by the text "Official Match Ball Supplier," commemorating the relationship that began in 2000-2001.
