The Federation of International Football(FIFA) and Adidas have unveiled the official match ball called ‘Al Rihla’ ahead of the upcoming 2022 Qatar World Cup.
It is the 14th successive ball that adidas has created for the FIFA World Cup and is designed to support peak game speeds, as it travels faster in flight than any ball in the tournament’s history.
The ‘Al Rihla’ takes its name from the Arabic word for ‘the journey’ and is inspired by the architecture, boats, and flag of host nation Qatar.
The major tournament is scheduled for November this year in Qatar.
