The Confederation of African Football on Monday revealed the official match ball for the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League final clash.

The stylish minimalism of the Umbro’s flagship Neo Pro football has been enhanced with a striking geometric graphic inspired by the triangular elements of the African Champion Clubs’ Cup in bold colours that reflect the vibrancy of football on the continent.

The 14-panel hand-stitched professional football has been designed with a textured Tejin microfiber casing for durability, accuracy and dependable aerodynamics, along with a layered construction and latex bladder for consistent bounce, air and shape retention; and bears the ‘FIFA Quality Pro’ designation.

“A premier ball for Africa’s premier interclub tournament”, commented Nicole Marcus, Production Manager at Umbro South Africa.

Al Ahly and Wydad Athletic Club will battle it out for supremacy for the CAF Champions League trophy.

The Red Devils of Al Ahly progressed to the finals with a 6-2 aggregate score over ES Setif.

Wydad Athletic Club also reached the finals for the fifth time in their history after a 4-2 aggregate win over Petro de Luanda.

The TotalEnergies CAF Champions League final will be played at Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca at 20h00 local time (19h00 GMT) on Monday night, 30 May 2022.
