Adidas unveils new FUSSBALLLIEBE – Official Match Ball for UEFA EURO 2024™
High-tech match ball equipped with innovative technology to detect handballs and offsides
Ball available to buy for £130 from Adidas and will feature in all 51 tournament matches this upcoming summer
Today, adidas unveils the new FUSSBALLLIEBE Official Match Ball for UEFA EURO 2024™. The ball will be used during the final tournament in Germany, which takes place from 14 June to 14 July 2024. The FUSSBALLLIEBE features cutting-edge technology that will help referees make more accurate decisions on the pitch.
The ball is equipped with a sensor that can detect handballs and offsides. The sensor is located inside the ball and uses a combination of accelerometers and gyroscopes to track the ball's movement. When the ball is touched by a player's hand, the sensor sends a signal to the referee's watch. The referee can then use this information to make a decision on whether to award a penalty or free kick.
The FUSSBALLLIEBE is also equipped with a chip that can track the ball's position on the pitch. This information can be used to help referees make offside decisions. The chip sends a signal to the referee's watch every time the ball crosses the halfway line. The referee can then use this information to determine whether a player was offside when they received the ball.
The FUSSBALLLIEBE is a significant step forward in the use of technology in football. The ball's innovative features will help referees make more accurate decisions on the pitch, which will lead to a fairer and more enjoyable game for everyone.
The FUSSBALLLIEBE is available to buy for £130 from Adidas. It will feature in all 51 tournament matches this upcoming summer.
