The Ligue de Football Professionnel and uhlsport unveil the new 2021-2022 version of Elysia, the official Uber Eats Ligue 1 ball, which will be used from the start of the championship on the weekend of 6, 7 and 8 August 2021.

For this new year of partnership, the official match ball of the Ligue 1 Uber Eats for the first part of the season is dressed in new colours: fluorescent yellow, navy and fluorescent red synonymous with freshness, confidence and energy!

 

We find in its construction panels in the shape of the hexagon - the symbol of France and the League 1 trophy Uber Eats, as well as a stylised star. 

 

The Elysia ball concentrates the quintessence of uhlsport's technological know-how. Its exclusive and innovative design was specially developed for Ligue 1 Uber Eats. Its name is a double reference to the Elysian fields of mythology - 'reserved for virtuous men and heroes' - and the world-famous boulevard where French victories are celebrated.

 

uhlsport has developed a complete range of Elysia balls for club and recreational use, available in all good sports stores.

 

A long-standing partner of the French Professional Football League, uhlsport has been the official ball supplier of Ligue 1 Uber Eats and Ligue 2 BKT for five seasons, since 2017-18 and through 2021-22.
