LFP unveils five special balls for Ligue 1’s biggest fixtures | OneFootball

The Ligue de football professionnel announced an exclusive set of five event balls for showpiece Ligue 1 clashes this season, debuting in Sunday’s Classique at the Vélodrome. Olympique de Marseille host Paris Saint-Germain at 20:45 on Sunday.

That match will use a specially liveried ball featuring subtle motifs acknowledging both OM and the capital club.

Unveiled on Tuesday with Decathlon, the range is produced by Kipsta, the retailer’s brand, and will be used home and away across the selected fixtures during 2026-2027.

The balls keep the standard top-flight design seen each weekend, with added references to the teams involved. They will not be sold to the public.

The five fixtures are Le Classique (OM-PSG), L'Olympique (OL-OM), Le derby du Nord (RC Lens-LOSC), Le derby de la Côte d'Azur (AS Monaco-OGC Nice) and Le derby de la capitale (PSG-Paris FC).
