For the first time ever, LALIGA introduces a third official match ball, PUMA ÓRBITA FUEGO (PUMA ÓRBITA FIRE), designed to offer superior stability in flight, precise control, and enhanced on-camera visibility.
The new ball will be used in all matchdays remaining between now and the end of the season, with 10 sides fighting for survival and over 15 still in contention for a European spot in LALIGA EA SPORTS. In LALIGA HYPERMOTION, meanwhile, 15 teams could still finish in the top six spots and be in with a chance of promotion.
PUMA ÓRBITA FUEGO (“PUMA ÓRBITA FIRE”) will elevate the experience for players and fans during the thrilling final stages of the LALIGA EA SPORTS & LALIGA HYPERMOTION seasons.
Engineered for optimal precision and speed, ÓRBITA FUEGO promises to contribute significantly to an exhilarating end to the season. Additionally, tests have proven this ball to be the brightest on camera this year, adding extra visibility during crucial matches.
The ball’s release coincides with LALIGA’s latest campaign, “Don’t Let the Ball Burn You,” highlighting one of the tightest and most fiercely contested season finales in recent history. The PUMA ÓRBITA FUEGO stands as the centrepiece of this campaign, symbolizing how players who handle pressure will ultimately rise above the rest.
Constructed with innovative materials and cutting-edge technology, the PUMA ÓRBITA FUEGO meets the rigorous demands of high-performance football. Its seamless large-panel design ensures outstanding stability during flight, while the textured 1.1mm PU 3D surface guarantees precise control and an exceptional touch on every pass and strike.
A unique ball for a fiery season fun-in
ÓRBITA FUEGO arrives at a pivotal moment in an already intense competition. Ten teams are currently battling to avoid relegation in LALIGA EA SPORTS, making this one of the closest seasons ever. In fact, the current leader holds the lowest points tally (66) in four seasons, and there’s a mere three-point gap between first and second place. Remarkably, the 18th-placed team has accumulated 27 points, the highest in the last six seasons (tied with the 2022-23 season).
In LALIGA HYPERMOTION, 15 clubs are still in with a chance to finish in the top six, with eight teams (Granada CF, UD Almería, Real Oviedo, SD Huesca, CD Mirandés, R. Racing Club, Levante UD, and Elche CF) still vying for direct promotion. Meanwhile, 12 sides remain involved in the relegation battle.
Fans can witness the new ball in action throughout the remaining matches of LALIGA EA SPORTS (Matchdays 30-38) and LALIGA HYPERMOTION (Matchdays 34-42 and playoffs).
As the decisive moments of the LALIGA season unfold, the introduction of ÓRBITA FUEGO sets the stage for greatness. The ball is burning, and only the bravest will ask for it.
Fans can now purchase the official PUMA ÓRBITA FUEGO ball online at PUMA.COM and in selected retail stores worldwide.
