Al Rihla 22 balls
Al Rihla 22
— a model released by Adidas for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, which was held in Qatar. Al Rihla is translated from Arabic as “journey”, and the design of the ball is inspired by the architecture, dhows and traditional patterns of Qatar.The original Al Rihla products contain a natural rubber bladder and a polyurethane shell with micro- and macro-texture. The SpeedShell panels are connected to each other seamlessly using heat-bonding technology. They combine a textured pattern and diamond embossing, which contributes to improved ball control. Al Rihla is the first official smart ball with an integrated chip for match analysis, and it is also an environmentally friendly product, because even the glue and ink in its materials are water-based.
