"Nivia Radian, is the ball approved by FIFA since 2004 and has been the official ball for top football tournaments in India for many years," a statement from the organisers said.
The ball has passed approval tests from FIFA and given the FIFA-approved mark which makes it eligible to be used in any international event held under the aegis of the world football's governing body.
Till last year, the Santosh Trophy was played with the Nivia Shining Star football.
The new ball's roundness and water absorption are tested by FIFA and certified to be honoring the standards.
