MITRE BECOMES THE OFFICIAL MATCH BALL PARTNER OF THE ENTERPRISE NATIONAL LEAGUE
Mitre is kicking off a major new chapter as the Official Match Ball Partner of The Enterprise National League, starting with the 2025/26 season. This exciting partnership means that Mitre’s iconic Ultimax Match Ball will be used in every single fixture across the National League, National League North, and National League South — that’s 72 clubs playing with one of the most advanced footballs in the game.
This new three-year deal is statement about Mitre’s commitment to the beautiful game at every level, from grassroots football to the professional tiers. Known for their precision-engineered footballs and deep roots in the sport, Mitre is doubling down on its mission to support players everywhere with elite-level footballs.
A Ball That Tells a Story
To celebrate the partnership, Mitre has designed a custom Ultimax Pro Match Ball that proudly carries the revitalised branding of The Enterprise National League. Featuring bold deep blue, striking red, and silver highlights, the ball also includes the new title sponsor, Enterprise, seamlessly woven into its design.
One of the most thoughtful touches? The ball is decorated with 72 unique dots, each representing a club in the league structure - a nod to the unity and diversity of the National League.
Built for Performance, Trusted by Pros
The Mitre Ultimax is FIFA Quality Pro certified and packed with innovations that elevate the playing experience:
- 4-panel construction for a larger sweet spot, delivering more power and accuracy.
- HyperSeal thermal bonding for maximum durability and zero water absorption.
- Hyperflow grooves for unbeatable in-flight stability.
- Hyperfoam cushioning for that perfect balance of power and control.
A Growing Presence in English Football
This partnership builds on Mitre’s long-standing relationships within English football including the Emirates FA Cup, Isuzu FA Vase, and FA Trophy - competitions that many National League clubs also take part in. It’s a natural next step for a brand that’s deeply embedded in the sport's culture and future.
