Product Information

ET hereby disclaims any and all warranties, express or implied, relating to the report and any content therein. a b "adidas reveals the first FIFA World Cup official match ball featuring connected ball technology". Al Hilm represents a beacon of light on the power of sport and football to bring the world together.

Both balls feature the same technology, engineered to support the highest game speeds as they travel faster in flight than any other World Cup ball.

Al Hilm differs from Al Rihla visually, though, with Adidas’ designing its second offering for Qatar 2022 on a gold base rather than white.

A striking gold base draws from the iconic architecture and landscape of the host country, while maroon accents pay tribute to the Qatari flag. Adidas has claimed that the ball is representative of the 'power of football to bring the world together', despite the dreadful human rights abuses committed by host country Qatar.The ball encapsulates its namesake, Al Hilm – “The Dream”, as it connects to the twilight hours, where the red sky meets the desert sand at dusk – a time when dreams are set to come true under the floodlights of the Lusail Stadium – the stage for the Final.

Choose from a wide range of official World Cup footballs, competition footballs designed for everyday use, durable club balls inspired by the official FIFA ball and more. Update: It is not the first time that an Adidas World Cup final ball is already used in the semi-finals. FIFA has insisted that 'Connected Ball' technology has helped referees to make quicker and more accurate decisions.

It replaces Al Rihla, meaning The Journey, as the official match ball for Qatar 2022 ahead of Argentina taking on Croatia and France meeting Morocco in the final four at the 22nd edition of the FIFA tournament. FIFA has changed the World Cup match ball towards the end of this year's tournament in preparation for the semi-finals and final. The design of Al Hilm is set on a textured gold base colour, which features a subtle triangular pattern, drawing inspiration from the sparkling deserts of the region that surround the city, the colour of the FIFA World Cup trophy, and the pattern of the Qatar flag. Plus thanks to its butyl bladder inner construction your game won't be spoiled due ton flat balls during playtime either. Franziska Loffelmann, a design director at Adidas, describes Al Rihla as "the fastest and most accurate FIFA World Cup ball to date.
