NASL Partners with Under Armour

The North American Soccer League selected Under Armour as its official match ball partner. The Desafio ball featuring the NASL's red and blue colors will be used in all training sessions, matches, and community activities for the league's sixth season that kicks off on April 2.

"Under Armour has quickly become a major player in the global soccer scene, and we believe that this partnership will benefit all who are involved in the game both here and abroad," said NASL commissioner Bill Peterson. "When our players and coaches got their feet on the Under Armour Desafio ball for the first time, the responses were great. It's a fantastic ball."

Under Armour outfits such clubs such as Tottenham, St. Pauli, AZ and Sao Paulo as well as U.S. Women's World Cup champions Lauren Holiday and Kelley O'Hara.
