PUMA and the EFL are celebrating LGBTQ+ History Month by unveiling an official Rainbow Match Ball to be used across all leagues.
The PUMA Orbita Rainbow ball includes the colours of both the rainbow and progress flags, letting it be known that everyone is welcome in football, on the pitch and in the stands.
The ball will be used by all 72 clubs in the Championship, League One and League Two in every match from February 16-24. For every goal scored with the Rainbow ball, PUMA will donate £75 to the LGBTQ+ Fans for Diversity Fund.
The money raised will go towards initiatives promoting diversity and inclusion in football and providing resources and support for queer fans.
EFL partners will also support the campaign, with Sky Bet donating some of the PUMA Orbita Rainbow Balls to LGBTQ+ inclusive grassroots clubs, whilst EA FC 24 players will be able to use the Rainbow Ball in game from February 15.
