The NCAA has selected Wilson Sporting Goods Co. as its official soccer ball supplier beginning in 2009.

The Wilson NCAA Match Ball adds to the list of Wilson NCAA game balls in football, basketball and tennis.

“We have a longstanding partnership with the NCAA,” said Wilson President Chris Considine. “To become the official soccer ball of the NCAA adds credence to Wilson’s soccer brand. Wilson has the product expertise and experience to manufacture a world-class NCAA Soccer Match Ball. With our resources and commitment, we will deliver an exceptional product to the NCAA.”

Wilson soccer balls are already in play at the highest level of competition in many Latin American countries. Wilson match balls are also the choice for 13 state high school associations in the U.S.

“Wilson has been a great partner to the NCAA for some time,” said Peter Davis, NCAA director of corporate alliances. “The quality of their products and the technology that is invested in each product is outstanding, and we are thrilled to align the Wilson brand with NCAA soccer. We are proud to partner with Wilson and look forward to working together to grow our soccer brands.”
