Leagues Go (NIKE)RED

They send their champions into continental competitions against each other, but rarely do the biggest leagues of Europe get together for a common goal.

This weekend, the leagues of England, Spain, and Italy will introduce the special edition (NIKE) RED T90 Ascente ball in all home fixtures in a unified show of support for the Lace Up Saves Lives partnership designed to raise funds and awareness for the fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa.

The (NIKE) RED ball is a specially designed T90 Ascente - the same ball currently used by all three leagues. But for one weekend it becomes more than a tool for victory. Spiraling RED around the field, the ball becomes a symbol bigger than any game, team, or league.

The global battle to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS is greater than any trophy and will require all of us to play on the same team.
