Today adidas unveiled the Official Match Ball for the UEFA Champions League Final in Rome on May 27th: the adidas “Finale Rome”. The Italian capital is hosting its second UEFA Champions League Final (following 1996). Europe’s top two football clubs in the 2008/2009 season will compete in the Final in Stadio Olimpico di Roma, Italy’s biggest sports arena.
The design of the adidas “Finale Rome” is based on the widely recognizable UEFA Champions League star ball. The colours of the new match ball are inspired by the traditional Roman colour burgundy with gold detailing around the stars. Mosaic figures representing key sporting and Roman values such as speed, teamwork, justice and power are featured in each star honouring the most important European club game.
Like the “EUROPASS”, the match ball for the UEFA EURO 2008™, the adidas “Finale Rome” features the innovative surface structure, PSC-Texture™. This surface structure allows players to control and direct the ball perfectly in all weather conditions. The PSC- Texture™ consists of a sophisticated and extremely fine structure on the ball's outer skin that guarantees optimum grip between ball and boot. Due to the usage of this material, the ball texture feels like goose bumps. In addition, like the “EUROPASS”, the adidas “Finale Rome” is constructed out of 14 panels using revolutionary Thermal Bonding Technology.
The adidas “Finale Rome” is currently available at retail worldwide.

That acttualy would make this one the third final played in the Italian Capital
a broken dream.. too soon
Great ball.
Mayyyyyyyyyy beeee, bacause it\'s the same competition ...
anyway, men your English drunk fans attitudes in Italian squares before the CL matches are not a great example of civility..
but I admit that here in Italy,particularly in Rome there are problems in the acceptance of English fans.
Also for the Final..at least one of the finalists will be English.. I think that there will be clashes between Italians and English fans.. we\'ll never be good friends.
expecially if the final will be Man Utd - L\'pool..
Anyway I\'m proud of Roman football..whatever you think of it
It definitly said finale roma
UN ABRAZO DESDE ACA!
SALUDOS!
