Global sports company PUMA has scored the ‘biggest goal ever’, with Aston Villa and England forward Morgan Rogers scoring a landmark goal through London’s iconic Tower Bridge to mark the start of the 2025/26 Premier League season.
The 10.5m tall inflatable ball illuminated London’s famous riverbank with thousands of onlookers watching on in awe as Morgan Rogers helped strike the ball through Tower Bridge to score the ‘first goal of the season’.
The eye-catching stunt follows the recent partnership announcement between PUMA and the Premier League as official match ball provider – with plenty more huge goals set to stun fans across the country in the months, and seasons, to come.
Proving that when you have a ball, anything can be a goal and the goalposts can be anything, Morgan Rogers added: “It was great to be involved in something of this magnitude! It was definitely one of the more open goals I’ve scored in my career and hopefully the first of many this season.”
The PUMA Orbita Ultimate PL match ball is comprised of twelve evenly sized panels to ensure precise weight distribution, keeping the ball perfectly balanced. The high-frequency moulding guarantees long-lasting durability with enlarged and deeper seams to improve aerodynamics, shape retention, and a soft touch with every kick, no matter the pitch or weather. The ball will make its on-pitch debut during the first match round of the Premier League from the 15th August.
The official Premier League match ball is available now at PUMA.com, in PUMA stores, PL Shop and select retailers worldwide.
