Puma x La Liga 'VS Racism' Match Ball by SUSO33
To create this unique piece of matchday equipment, La Liga and Puma collaborated with renowned Spanish graffiti artist SUSO33.
Moving away from standard geometric ball patterns, the La Liga 'VS Racism' 25-26 soccer ball design takes heavy inspiration from SUSO33's artwork titled "Melting Pot of Cultures." The graphic is a vibrant fusion of street art and football imagery, specifically created to symbolize diversity and the unifying power of the sport.
Emblazoned across the highly visual upper is the campaign's powerful core message: "Our united strength against racism; only together can we win."
The physical rollout of the match ball this weekend is part of a much broader push by the league. Alongside global partners like Puma and EA Sports, La Liga aims to push their anti-discrimination message and create a meaningful social impact not just for fans inside the stadiums, but also within the global digital gaming community.

Premium Material Returns to the World Cup Champions Badge
Alongside the second star above the crest, Spain officially unveiled a new 3D embossed World Champions badge during their recent 3-2 victory over England in the UEFA Nations League. This badge previously appeared on Spain's jersey after their 2026 FIFA World Cup triumph.
Compared to the heat-applied plastic version seen on Argentina's kits, the new badge from Cromotransfer offers a significantly more premium look, featuring an embossed surface and a multi-layered structure. Before that, Adidas has increasingly shifted to pre-applying tournament and champions badges directly in its manufacturing facilities.
However, this upgrade will be exclusive to the authentic player-version jerseys. The fan-version replica shirts will continue to feature the standard heat-transferred plastic badge.
Big thanks to @whatthekit_x for the collage.
