A final da CONMEBOL Sudamericana 2026 já tem bola. A PUMA e a Confederação Sul-Americana de Futebol apresentaram a edição especial da CUMBRE, o modelo que será usado no Estádio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez, em Barranquilla, no sábado, 21 de novembro, palco onde Boca Juniors e Atlético Mineiro vão decidir o título.
Trata-se de uma versão criada exclusivamente para essa partida, com base branca, faixas azuis e linhas amarelas que desenham curvas envolventes ao redor do PUMA Cat, em amarelo, ao lado do logotipo do torneio. A paleta reúne as cores da identidade da competição, e o nome CUMBRE remete ao topo que cada clube persegue.
Será a primeira final do torneio disputada em partida única em Barranquilla, em um Metropolitano renovado para o evento. Além do troféu, Boca Juniors e Atlético Mineiro brigam por uma vaga na CONMEBOL Recopa 2027.
A CUMBRE chega a esta final com certificação FIFA Quality Pro e a mesma construção que os jogadores usam ao longo do torneio. Também figura como bola oficial da CONMEBOL Libertadores. São 12 painéis do mesmo tamanho, distribuídos para que o peso fique uniforme. A moldagem por alta frequência ajuda a conservar a forma, faz a bola absorver menos água e oferece um toque macio.
Quanto às costuras, são mais largas e profundas, e a superfície tem textura 3D para buscar um voo mais estável.
No interior, a nova espuma POE deixa o toque firme e o quique mais regular. A válvula PUMA Air Lock e a câmara de borracha reforçada foram pensadas para conservar o ar e manter a mesma sensação do primeiro ao último minuto.
A edição especial estará à venda a partir de 28 de outubro nas lojas da marca.
