adidas has unveiled Al Rihla, the official match ball for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. This marks the 14th successive ball the brand has created for the tournament. From the Telstar to the Jabulani and Brazuca, World Cup balls are consistently major talking points, and the interest around this release is emphatic. With 32 teams competing and only one ball to make their winning dreams possible, the ball’s on-pitch performance carries enormous significance.
The Journey Behind Al Rihla
The name “Al Rihla” comes from the Arabic word for “the journey.” Its design is inspired by the architecture, boats, and flag of host nation Qatar. The ball was developed from the inside out using data and rigorous testing at adidas labs, in wind tunnels, and on the pitch by professional football players. According to adidas, Al Rihla is expected to provide the highest levels of accuracy and reliability on the field of play, partly due to its new panel shape and surface textures.
