The story
PUMA marked the start of the new English Premier League season and its partnership with the elite league, with Aston Villa and England forward Morgan Rogers scoring a landmark goal in front of London’s iconic Tower Bridge.
The 10.5m tall inflatable ball illuminated London’s famous riverbank with thousands of onlookers watching on in awe as Rogers helped strike the ball through Tower Bridge to score the 'first goal of the season'.
The eye-catching stunt follows the recent partnership announcement between PUMA and the Premier League as official match ball provider – bringing an end to the league's 25-season-long relationship with Nike.
"It was great to be involved in something of this magnitude! It was one of the more open goals I've scored in my career and hopefully the first of many this season," said Rogers, proving that when you have a ball, anything can be a goal, and the goalposts can be anything!
The eye-catching PUMA Orbita Ultimate PL match ball features 12 evenly sized panels, ensuring precise weight distribution for optimal balance.
Its high-frequency moulding enhances durability, while the enlarged and deeper seams improve aerodynamics, shape retention, and provide a soft touch with every kick, regardless of the pitch conditions or weather.
The ball will make its on-pitch debut during the first round of the Premier League, starting on 15 August with defending champions Liverpool hosting Bournemouth.
You can find the official Premier League match ball available for purchase (valued at R799) at PUMA.com, in PUMA retail stores, and at Totalsports, Sportsman's Warehouse, Studio 88, and JD Sports.
