The new APL-2024/25 ball: aerodynamics, neon colors, and Nike technologies
The new APL-2024/25 ball features aerodynamic design, neon colors, and Nike’s advanced technologies.
The official ball used in the English Premier League this season was once again developed by Nike. The Flight model has been updated in terms of its appearance: a white base with geometric patterns in purple, green, and orange colors. These colors reflect the league’s iconic lion logo and the urban aesthetics of British cities.
Technically, the ball is equipped with Aerowsculpt 3.0 technology and the patented Flight system. This ensures a stable flight path and minimal resistance to air resistance, even in high humidity conditions. According to the manufacturer, the deviation from the intended path has been reduced by 30% compared to the previous generation. The ball has also received FIFA Quality Pro certification and is already being used by clubs in official matches.
This is the 25th season of Nike’s collaboration with the APL. The company aims to strike a balance between a distinctive design and predictable gameplay. More precise passes and stable shots reduce the number of random rebounds. However, this requires goalkeepers and defenders to adapt to the ball’s rotational speed.
If you’re interested in the design of the ball for the 2025/26 season, it will be unveiled in July 2025. Keep an eye on updates as soon as Nike releases the specifications. We’ll provide more details once they’re available.
