Before the decisive tournament stage, UEFA announced that fans in the stands will see an updated ball.

The main tool of the game will be adorned and thus gain the color of the main trophy.

Moreover, for the first time in the history of the tournament semi-finals and final, the ball will be equipped with "Connected Ball" technology, which will directly send data to the match officials.

Television viewers will also not be left out, as they will be able to find out the speed and distance the ball traveled before hitting the goal net.
