Rainbow English Football League (EFL) match-issue football used for two Sky Bet Championship matches: Swansea City v Ipswich Town (17 February 2024) and Sunderland v Swansea City (24 February 2024). The Puma Orbita rainbow ball design includes the rainbow and progress colours, symbolising that football is for everyone and representing the League’s active support for inclusion throughout the game.
In February 2024 the EFL and Official Match Ball partners PUMA, marked LGBTQ+ History Month by unveiling the very first Rainbow match ball which was used by all 72 Clubs across Sky Bet Championship, League One and League Two matches from 16-24 February 2024.
