10th ball design marks 10th season of cooperation with SELECT Sport

The EHF and EHF Marketing began their cooperation with SELECT Sport for the 2016/17 season, when SELECT began producing balls for the EHF Champions League.

SELECT designed their 10th Champions League ball for the TruckScout24 EHF FINAL4 2025 and EHF FINAL4 Women 2025, with the ball remaining in use for the 2025/26 seasons of the Machineseeker EHF Champions League and EHF Champions League Women.

The ball also marked a sustainability milestone as the first official match ball of the EHF Champions League made with recycled materials, with 41 per cent of its polyurethane derived from recycled PET bottles.

SELECT also produces balls for the EHF EUROs and the ball designed for the Men’s EHF EURO 2026 uses recycled materials as well.

The contracts between the EHF, EHF Marketing and SELECT are currently in place until 2028, having been extended in 2024. SELECT also remains the official resin supplier to the EHF EUROs.

Peter Knap, SELECT Sport CEO, said: "We are very happy to celebrate 10 years of collaboration with the EHF Marketing. We are proud that we are going into the 10th season as the Official Ball supplier of the EHF Marketing — and we are looking forward to continuing our great partnership and enjoying many more exciting handball games together."

David Szlezak, Managing Director EHF Marketing, said: “Next to the main protagonists on the court, the players, handballs are an essential part of the game, and we are happy to have a partner like SELECT, with whom we are developing the European club competitions. The 10-season long partnership with SELECT Sport is something we are very proud of and happy to celebrate.”
