We Proudly Present: the Orbita Ball

PUMA is the Official Match-Ball Provider for the SPFL and SWPL

May 31, 2023

It’s official! PUMA is the official match-ball sponsor of the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) and the Scottish Women’s Premier League (SWPL). The new partnership is a multi-year deal and will commence at the start of the 2023/2024 season.
The PUMA match-ball marks an exciting milestone for the SWPL: this is the first-ever bespoke match-ball, exclusively designed to be used throughout the season. It is also the first-ever bespoke ball for PUMA in a women’s football league.

The PUMA match ball, named the Orbita, will make its first appearance in the group stages of the 2023/24 Viaplay Cup this summer. It will then appear across four divisions from the start of the SPFL league season from the 5th of August.

“We are pleased to be entering this new chapter with the SPFL and SWPL. This partnership underscores PUMA’s commitment to supporting and promoting football across the game. With the introduction of the Orbita ball, we’re bringing together PUMA’s deep love for the game with innovative design and top-tier technology. We’re looking forward to seeing the Orbita in action and contributing to an exciting season ahead.” Bas van den Bemt (PUMA UKI General Manager)

The Orbita Ball
Bright and colourful, the Orbita ball’s unique colourways are inspired by the SPFL and SWPL logos, and incorporates the latest technology developed by PUMA. With its fine tuned panels and contours, the Orbita promises excellent aerodynamic performance on the pitch.

The SPFL and SWPL are just some of the many prestigious leagues for which PUMA are the official match-ball provider. Others include La Liga, Serie A and EFL.

“This is a significant and exciting partnership for the SPFL and SWPL as we join forces together with PUMA, a brand renowned for its excellence and innovation in sports. This new partnership will provide our clubs with a match ball of the highest quality, and also provides the League with additional value and promotional opportunities. We eagerly anticipate the start of the next season, showcasing the best of Scottish football with the support of PUMA.” Neil Doncaster (SPFL Chief Executive)

“We are absolutely delighted, and hugely excited, to partner with PUMA, a brand recognised across the world. Their values include being brave and confident which align perfectly with our own ambitions at the SWPL. I am delighted that we will have our own bespoke match-ball for the first time ever – it looks incredible and is another important milestone for the women’s game as we strive to professionalise the SWPL and engage new audiences.”

Fiona McIntyre (SWPL Managing Director)
