Al Rihla will be the 14th successive match ball that has been produced by adidas for the FIFA World Cup.

Since then they have produced a new match ball for every World Cup and every Women's World Cup since 2011.
Telstar
The Telstar was the first match ball produced by adidas for the purpose of a World Cup - the 1970 edition in Mexico. It features the iconic 32-panel black-and-white design that was used on balls for years to come. FIFA brought back the Telstar for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, with a separate version for the group stages and knockout rounds.

Brazuca
Used in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the Brazuca was the first match ball to be named by the fans. After the controversy surrounding the Jabulani in 2010, adidas claimed it was the most-tested ball they had ever produced.
