The first ever Rainbow ball used in English professional football is to join the large number of exhibits at the National Football Museum.
The PUMA ORBITA ball, first used during the West Bromwich Albion v Southampton game in February, is being displayed at England’s largest museum dedicated to football, situated right opposite Victoria Station, from today (April 25).
Unveiled earlier this year to coincide with LGBTQ+ History Month, the football helped Southampton winger Ryan Fraser score the opening goal in their Sky Bet Championship match at The Hawthorns on February 16.
The team eventually claimed a 2-0 win over West Brom on the night.
