Adidas created Al Rihla as the official ball for the 2022 FIFA Qatar World Cup competitions, announced FIFA this Wednesday.
Al Rihla, which translates to the journey, was inspired by Qatar’s culture, architecture, iconic boats, and flags, said FIFA.
Al Rihla is the 14th consecutive FIFA World Cup ball, which is able to travel faster in flight than any other in the tournament’s history, supporting high-speed and high-quality games, added the same source.
“This is a stunning, sustainable, and high-quality Official Match Ball from Adidas that will be enjoyed by stars performing at the top of their game on the world’s biggest stage in Qatar, as well as grassroots players everywhere,” said Jean-François Pathy, FIFA’s Director of Marketing on FIFA’s website.
“Al Rihla’s worldwide journey will represent the incredible reach of the FIFA World Cup and give fans a unique opportunity to engage with the event as excitement builds ahead of the big kick-off,” he added.
As of yesterday, Morocco qualified for the FIFA World Cup, after beating DR Congo in the second leg 4-1.
