The National League is delighted to announce Mitre as its Official Match Ball Partner in a three-year
partnership kicking off from the 2025/26 season.

The deal will see every fixture across the National League, National League North and National League
South playing with the Mitre Ultimax Match Ball.

As a brand underpinned by its mission to support and champion football at all levels of the beautiful
game, this new partnership will equip players across all 72 clubs in the National League with the elite
level Mitre Ultimax Match Ball.

Complimenting Mitre’s existing relationship with the FA competitions including the Emirates FA Cup,
Isuzu FA Vase and Isuzu FA Trophy, with many National League clubs also competing in many of these
prestigious tournaments.

To mark the new partnership, Mitre has crafted a bespoke Ultimax match ball. The design features The
Enterprise National League’s revitalised brand identity and logo, with a palette of deep blue, striking
red, and flecks of silver. Taking centre stage is the new title sponsor, Enterprise, with its logo integrated
seamlessly into the design, symbolising a new era for one of football’s most cherished competitions.
A standout design feature is the 72 intricate dots that wrap around the ball, each one representing a
club within the league structure, a tribute to the unity and diversity of the National League structure.

The Ultimax range is engineered with performance at its core and tested and accredited to the FIFA
Quality Pro standard, guaranteeing elite-level excellence. Packed with innovation and features, it
delivers a visible difference that players can feel – a true testament to Mitre’s legacy of quality and
precision.

Built from decades of knowledge, it features a unique four-panel design, reducing seams to create a
larger sweet spot. This innovation ensures maximum power, improved control, and a better
connection with every strike.

The ball is thermally bonded with HyperSeal technology, ensuring superb shape retention, durability,
and zero water absorption. Its Hyperflow debossed grooves have been specifically designed for inflight
stability, ensuring consistency across all speeds of play. Inside, the Hyperfoam elastic cushioning offers
optimal power, close control, and a responsive touch.

Speaking about the new partnership, Simon Rowe, Senior Vice President of Mitre & Global Sports
Marketing at Pentland Brands said: “Partnering with The Enterprise National League marks an important
milestone for our brand. It will allow us to significantly increase the number of players in the grassroots
and semi-professional English football tiers that get to play with our exceptional Mitre products and
experience the elite quality equipment that they deserve.

“Bringing Mitre and The National League together aligns brilliantly with our Mission to support and
champion football at all levels of the game, we can’t wait to kick off the new season with The Enterprise
National League and its players.”

Jon Warburton, Head of Commercial at The National League says “Mitre is a one of the leading
brands in the market. Their brand is iconic and strikes a chord with football fans across the country
and we’re delighted to have them on board as our Official Match Ball partner.

“We are continuing our drive to partner with brands that can help us develop connections with our
