adidas UEFA Super Cup 2010 Football
Europe s elite will face each other in the 2010 UEFA Super Cup using a new ball unveiled by adidas. The UEFA Super Cup match between Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid will be the second time that adidas and UEFA have created a special ball for the Supercopa.
The official ball of the UEFA Super Cup 2010 was revealed in Monaco, the stage for the showpiece event between Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid. The 2010 design is inspired by the colours of the Super Cup logo and the two competing clubs, and follows the successful launch of the adidas Finale 10 Champions League football.
The ball enters the field as Inter Milan, who won the UEFA Champions League last season take on Atletico Madrid winners of the Europa League, in the Louis II stadium, in Monaco on Friday 27th August. The UEFA Super Cup is a fixture between the winners of these two highly rated European cup competitions, and as neither side have won the cup before, any winner of the match will be a first time champion for the UEFA Super Cup.
Like other balls developed for UEFA tournaments, this adidas ball features such technology as the "Grip'n'Groove" profile. The innovative technology incorporates aero grooves clearly visible on the ball s surface, and this Grip n Groove profile covers the entire ball. The purpose of the integrated grooves is to provide unmatched flight characteristics, to make this the most stable and most accurate adidas ball ever. This texture also gives fantastic grip for the players to have full control over the ball in all weather conditions.
Of course, we're all too familiar with the controversy that has surrounded this adidas ball technology also featured on the adidas Jabulani ball. However, any such talk surrounding the UEFA Super Cup ball has been muted, with focus on which side will be victorious Inter Milan or Atletico Madrid...
