La Liga has announced that the official pink ball used for the first time at the weekend in Spain's top two divisions will now only feature in games where there are "adverse weather conditions."
The Puma pink ball was unveiled last week by La Liga and, as stated by the league, was going be used between Oct. 24 and Feb. 23 2020, replacing the traditional yellow ball.
However, in its first weekend of use there was criticism of the ball on social media from journalists and fans, who claimed they could not see the ball while watching games from the stands or on TV.
A La Liga statement read: "La Liga and Puma want to clarify that the new pink colour La Liga ball unveiled last week was used in all the La Liga Santander and La Liga SmartBank matches from the last round, because it was the first since being presented.
"From now on it will be used solely in those games played under adverse weather conditions, as was first intended."
