Official tournament football revealed for World Cup 2022 Qatar

 

 

Adidas has presented the official ball for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

 

It is known as Al Rihla, and its name comes from the Arabic word meaning “journey.”

“The ball is just the beginning. The rest of your football journey is yet to be written,” reads Al Rihla’s caption on adidas.com, where it is on sale for $165.

 

The official ball for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will be created by adidas for the 14th time.

 

This ball “travels faster in flight than any other in the tournament’s history” according to FIFA.com.

Its design, meanwhile, is stated to be “inspired by Qatar’s culture, architecture, iconic boats, and flag.”

 

Adidas has promoted Al Rihla using Lionel Messi and Son Heung-min.
