(PRESS RELEASE) LONDON, 9-May-2025 — /EuropaWire/ — Mitre has revealed the official match ball for the eagerly anticipated The Soccer Tournament (TST), taking place from June 4th–9th, 2025, in Cary, North Carolina. The vibrant, bold Mitre Ultimax Pro ball has been designed to embody the global spirit of TST and the competition’s fast-paced, high-energy format.

Now in its third year, TST brings together Men’s and Women’s teams from around the world, each competing for a $1 million prize in a thrilling 7×7 knockout competition. The Mitre Ultimax Pro has been the official match ball since the tournament’s inception.

A Bold and Dynamic Design

The design of the Ultimax Pro reflects the diversity of the competition’s players and international participants. Drawing inspiration from global connection, the ball features a playful “Winner Takes All” slogan, symbolizing the knockout format. Additionally, bumper stickers across the ball represent the cultural vibrancy of the USA, where the tournament is held.

Paying homage to the town of Cary, the ball’s unique ‘Delta’ (chevron) patterns are derived from the town’s topography, with contour lines directly taken from mapping data. This thoughtful touch honors WakeMed Soccer Park, the venue where the tournament will be staged.

Craftsmanship Meets Performance

The Ultimax Pro is the result of over 200 years of Mitre’s football craftsmanship and innovation. As the official ball of TST 2025, it carries FIFA Quality Pro accreditation, ensuring top-tier performance, durability, and flight consistency.

Designed with a four-panel construction, the ball reduces seams, increasing the sweet spot for more accurate strikes. Mitre’s Hyperseal technology thermally bonds the ball’s seams, maintaining its shape and integrity throughout the competition.

Incorporating Hyperfoam technology, the ball delivers optimal responsiveness by balancing cushioning and power with every touch. Hyperflow debossed grooves manipulate airflow, enhancing in-flight accuracy and stability, making it the ideal choice for TST’s fast-paced format.

For Fans: A Piece of the Action

To ensure fans don’t miss out on the excitement, Mitre has released a full range of supporter footballs. Available in both training and mini versions, these balls let fans take home a piece of the action and enjoy the spirit of TST.

Both the Mitre Ultimax Pro Match Ball and the supporter’s range are available for purchase at mitre.com and soccer.com.

Simon Rowe, Senior Vice President of Mitre & Global Sports Marketing at Pentland Brands, shared: “The Soccer Tournament has grown significantly in its first three years, from club participation to fan engagement. It’s a fast-paced, exciting competition, not only for the players but also for the fans watching as the $1 million prize money is up for grabs. This inclusive event, with top talent from across the globe, perfectly reflects the values of the competition in our new ball design.”
