Football Victoria (FV) is delighted to announce that we have extended our partnership with MITRE as the exclusive NPL ball provider for the NPL and VPL competitions in 2025.
MITRE balls are a renowned name synonymous with the highest standards both locally and internationally.
In 2025, the NPL Victoria competitions will use Mitre's elite match balls - the Ultimax Pro - as the official match ball for 2025.
The Ultimax Pro, which also features as the Official Match Ball for the Isuzu UTE A-Leagues Mens, Ninja A-League Womens, Hahn Australia Cup and FA Cup, is a FIFA Quality Pro match ball that features Mitre’s revolutionary four-panel Hyperseal construction and Hyperflow debossed grooves, allowing for incredible flight consistency across all speeds.
FV Commercial Executive Manager Chris Speldewinde said the extension was a “significant step forward” as we begin the 2025 season.
“We are thrilled to announce the extension between Football Victoria and MITRE as the official ball provider for our NPL and VPL competitions,” he continued.
“The MITRE ball is recognised for its superior quality and performance and this extension reinforces Football Victoria's dedication to maintaining the utmost standards in our competitions.
“As we continue on this exciting journey with MITRE, we extend our gratitude to the football community for their ongoing support.”
Director of Sportsmart Group, Gerrard Woods said MITRE was "proud" to be chosen once again as the Official Match Ball of elite competitions in Victoria and look forward to working with FV for many years to come.
"Mitre Sports are proud to continue supporting our strong relationship with Football Victoria and its community, in what is a brilliant state for football in this country," he said.
"Our rich heritage in Australia has seen Mitre provide high quality footballs from grassroots to the elite-professional level, helping develop generations of footballing talent here in Victoria."
This exclusive ball partnership strengthens the seven-year ongoing collaboration between MITRE and FV.
In addition to Mitre's network of resellers around the state, Clubs also have the ability to purchase balls from an exclusive portal on Mitre's website allowing for simplified purchasing and sourcing of match balls.
