The Korea Professional Football Federation announced on the 11th that it has adopted Adidas' CONEXT 26 PRO as the official ball of Hana Bank's K League 2026.

Connect is a combination of "Connection" and "Next," which means to connect all races, generations, and countries around the world into one through sports. The design applies a straight pattern and arrow motif on a white background, and combines orange and pink to make it easy to recognize the movement of the ball during the game.

The 'Connex 26 Pro' has passed all rigorous tests such as weight, water absorption, shape and size maintenance, and has obtained the 'FIFA Quality Pro' certification.

In particular, in terms of performance, the focus was on improving performance by applying the same specifications as the 2026 FIFA North American World Cup official ball "Trion".

A new four-panel structure is applied to distribute air resistance uniformly by deep seams and detailed lines engraved on the panel, providing high stability. In addition, icons embossed on the surface ensure excellent touch when dribbling and shooting even in humid environments.

The "Connex 26 Pro" will be used for all K League 1, K League 2 and playoff games this season, starting with the "Coupang Play K League Super Cup 2026" at Jeonju World Cup Stadium on February 21. Purchases can be found at Adidas official online stores, Adidas brand flagships, brand centers and performance stores, and soccer specialty stores.

Meanwhile, the K-League has been using the Adidas soccer ball as a public ball since 2012, and it plans to carry out various activities for the development of K-League and Korean soccer with Adidas in the 2026 season.
