UMBRO DYNAMIS BALL LAUNCHES AT THE 2008 FA CUP FINAL

The FA Cup Final is without doubt the most famous and eagerly anticipated 90 minutes of football to be played each season, and UMBRO have created a new football which will allow players to match the occasion. The FA Cup DYNAMIS ball is the most technically advanced ball ever produced and its unrivalled accuracy and power make it the perfect ball to help decide the outcome on May 17th.

The FA Cup DYNAMIS Ball has been in development for the last 2 years and has undergone rigorous testing in both science laboratories and on football pitches by professional players from clubs across the UK. These tests have resulted in the proof that a new 20-panel configuration is faster than the more traditional 32-panel ball thanks to the reduced curving that the new design provides.

Other product innovations include a new exclusive Teijin micro fibre material providing players with a super soft touch and increased power through greater elasticity and stretch. The DYNAMIS is also the first football to use new Tri-Ply bladder technology, designed around the premise of increasing the power and accuracy of any strike of the ball.

When the Portsmouth and Cardiff players step onto the pitch for one of the most eagerly anticipated finals in years the new UMBRO FA Cup DYNAMIS will add to the occasion, providing the teams with the most powerful, accurate and technically advanced ball ever to grace the famous Wembley turf.

To commemorate this year’s final UMBRO has produced 100 limited edition balls that will be used at Wembley in the game itself, distributed to dignitaries and guests of The FA and given away to lucky winners.

The Dynamis will be used throughout The FA Cup 08/09 season from 1st round proper onwards.
