Adidas reveals Al Rihla – the Official Match Ball for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022. It is the 14 th successive ball that adidas has created for the FIFA World Cup, designed to support the game at high speed as it travels faster in flight than any other World Cup ball.

Al Rihla translates as “the journey” in Arabic and has been inspired by the architecture, iconic boats, and the flag of Qatar. The ball was designed with the environment at its heart - all components have been carefully considered, and Al Rihla is the first World Cup ball made using only water-based inks and glues. The bold, vibrant color and graphics set on a pearlescent background reflects the ever-increasing speed of the game.
