- Azteca. An exercise in absolutely nailing the less-is-more theory of design, the 1986 ball took the format introduced with 1978’s Tango and, for the first time in World Cup history, incorporated elements that represented the host nation (we wonder what the design may have looked like if Colombia had hosted in ’86 as originally intended).
- Al Rihla. Despite the mountain of controversies surrounding the host nation – how they came to host in the first place, the playing conditions, the resulting fall/winter timing of the event, the treatment of workers, among other legitimate concerns – they’ve turned out a fabulous ball design for the first tournament held in the Middle East.
- Tricolore. The final in a two-decade long series of Tango variations, this was the first ever World Cup ball to feature color in the design. The blue, white and red of the French flag really stood out after 30 years of black and white, and the use of the Adidas logo as the comb on the head of the stylized cockerel was absolutely brilliant.
- Brazuca. Definitely the most daring design to date, and certainly the most fun name to say, the Brazuca’s bold shapes and colors perfectly fit the vibrant host nation of Brazil.

The FIFA World Cup™ 2022 ball will be the 14th in a row designed by adidas. Named the Al Rihla (‘The Journey’ in Arabic) it shows just how far footballs have come over the last 90 years. The Al Rihla is faster in flight than any other FIFA World Cup™ ball, and more sustainable than the previous balls. It’s also the first ever FIFA World Cup™ ball t...

Between the first official tournament in 1930 and the London event in 1966, the match balls were nothing like those you see today. They were stitched together from heavy brown leather. The colour changed when television broadcasts became widespread, and brown balls were hard to pick out on black and white TV. The first ever final, between Uruguay a...
The first official match ball developed by adidas for the 1970 finals, the Telstar reappeared for the 2018 FIFA World Cup™ for France’s victory against Croatia. The 2018 ball recalled the FIFA World Cup™ ball’s iconic black and white pattern of hexagons and pentagons, updated with a pixelated design. When we asked people to draw a football as part ...

It was the year that saw the first European team win the competition in the Americas. Germany scored the only goal against Argentina in the final in Rio de Janeiro. The Brazuca ball was tested by o...
Perhaps the most well-known of FIFA World Cup™ footballs is from the 2010 competition – the Jabulani ball. Eight thermally bonded panels (reduced from 14 in the previous FIFA World Cup™ ball), made it the roundest ever. The name means ‘to celebrate’ in isiZulu. Thomas Müller certainly celebrated after netting the Jabulani ball five times throughout...
The +Teamgeist – the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ ball – transformed footballs. Its 14 panels (instead of the usual 32) were thermally bonded instead of stitched together. The ball was designed to have a spectacular action and to encourage strikers to shoot from anywhere. 2006 was the year that started the trend of using a special version of the FIFA World...
Specially created for the 2002 FIFA World Cup™, the Fevernova marked a radical change from the traditional black and white design. On the outside, it had a colourful pattern influenced by Asian culture. On the inside, it had a special foam layer that gave it a more predictable flight path. It resulted in some spectacular goals, such as Ronaldo slot...
The Azteca, the FIFA World Cup™ ball used in 1986, was the accomplice in a famous ‘sleight of hand’. It was punched over the head of England’s goalkeeper, Peter Shilton, by Argentina’s Maradona in the famous ‘Hand of God’ incident. Not that it made much difference as Maradona went on to score an amazing individual goal later in the match.
The Adidas Telstar 18 was the official match ball of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which was held in the Russian Federation.
