For the fourth consecutive year, Decathlon remains the official ball supplier for Ligue 1 McDonald’s and Ligue 2 BKT. Ahead of the 2025/2026 season, the French brand has revealed a fresh design that stays true to the spirit of the game, while integrating notable technical improvements.
Bold Colors, French Identity
- Ligue 1 ball: electric pink and blue
- Ligue 2 ball: bold turquoise and violet
Both share a charcoal black visual base, ensuring graphic consistency across competitions, including the Trophée des Champions. A standout detail this year: the slogan “Football à la française”—a proud nod to French craftsmanship and football culture.
Built for Performance
The balls maintain their 12-panel thermobonded structure, known for its stability, durability, and comfort. The new surface texture strikes a better balance between grip, spin, and control, offering players enhanced precision and touch.
The graphics tell a story too:
- Ligue 1 emphasizes central opposition
- Ligue 2 reflects collective progression
Designed in France, Tested by Pros
Developed in Decathlon’s R&D centers, in collaboration with the LFP and professional clubs, the balls are engineered to meet top-level standards. Each season brings refinements that push innovation without compromising the essence of the game.
