Premier League name PUMA as new match ball supplier

The Premier League have confirmed that German sports giant PUMA will become their new match ball supplier from this summer.

The English top flight ended its 25-year partnership with Nike this year with the most recent Tiempo ball becoming an instant favourite.

But fans of the Premier League will now have to get used to a PUMA ball, with the division confirming the news via a press released on Monday morning.

Chief executive Richard Masters said: "We are delighted to be welcoming PUMA as the Official Ball Supplier of the Premier League. PUMA has a proud history of involvement in football over many years and we look forward to seeing the new ball used at all our matches from this summer onwards.

“Their global reach and commitment to excellence align with our values, and we are excited to work together on a range of projects to drive forward the incredible work taking place in communities and inspire fans worldwide.”

Arne Freundt, Chief Executive Officer at PUMA, said: "The agreement with the Premier League, the most-watched football league in the world, is an important step in PUMA’s brand elevation strategy.

“We look forward to bringing our performance technology to the forefront of the game and connecting with the many fans worldwide. With PUMA’s ball at the centre of attention during every match in this incredible league, we will create unforgettable moments for players and fans alike.”

PUMA already have a significance presence in the Premier League as Manchester City's kit supplier as well as boot supplier to the likes of Kai Haverz and James Maddison.
