Offical match ball: DFL announces call for bids
The DFL Deutsche Fußball Liga GmbH will soon announce a rights package for the possible introduction of an official match ball to be used starting in the 2009-2010 season.
This rights package will apply to the championship matches in the Bundesliga and/or 2. Bundesliga.
"Official match ball makes sense for several reasons"
Beginning on March 25, 2008, the DFL will provide qualified applicants with tender documents that also include the precise information concerning the content and range of applicability of the rights.
"Introducing an official match ball would make sense for several reasons, including the potential for uniform competition conditions, additional revenues and new opportunities for raising the brand visibility of the Bundesliga", said Christian Seifert, CEO of the DFL executive board.
