Major League Soccer and adidas Monday un veiled the official match ball for the league’s 2022 season.

They announced that the ball will debut at the 2021 MLS Cup between the Portland Timbers and New York City FC on Saturday in Portland.

According to a press release: “Incorporating the national flowers of the United States (rose) and Canada (bunchberry) as well as colors representing the other homelands of MLS players, the new ball is a symbol of the league’s extraordinary diversity. The ball’s design reflects the 860 players of MLS hailing from 79 countries and highlights the sense of unity and belonging within soccer communities around the globe.”

The ball is available for purchase at adidas.com, as well as Soccer.com and in select Dick’s Sporting Goods locations.
