We light up the football.....
"We light up the football" is the official slogan of Gazprom* for the Champions League**.
*Gazprom is a Russian gas company
*Champions League is the European football/soccer tournament
My question is this:
Why is "We light up the football" and not just "We light up football"? In other words, what's the point of using the article "the" before "football"?
Thank you.
