According to adidas, "the lion is symbolic of the rich history and culture of England and its capital city" London, where the 2024 UCL final will take place at Wembley Stadium on June 1.

The UCL Pro 23/24 knockout ball is currently being listed for sale at www.adidas.com for $170, while a decent replica will cost $40.
