FIFA has revealed adidas as the Official Supplier for the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup, with the sportswear giant unveiling the tournament’s Official Match Ball in a visually striking manner.
This new ball combines iconic design elements with advanced technology.
The ball’s design celebrates the host nation, the United States, incorporating bold graphics and symbols that reflect the country’s rich heritage. Set against a pearlescent background, the ball features jagged-edged block patterns and deconstructed stars and stripes in red, white, and blue, a tribute to the U.S. flag.
Engineered for improved accuracy, the ball includes PRECISIONSHELL technology, which uses a 20-panel construction and strategically placed grooves on the outer shell to enhance performance.
Additionally, the integrated connected ball technology transmits inertial measurement unit data to the video-assistant-referee system at a rate of 500 times per second, providing real-time insights.
