The FIFA World Cup is right around the corner. For the first time ever, the global football tournament will be held from late November through mid-December instead of its usual summer run. While the timetable might change, there’s still one constant — adidas bestowing the official match ball.
adidas has announced the Al Rihla for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 22 tournament. Arabic for “the journey,” the match ball was inspired by the architecture, iconic boats, and the flag of Qatar.
“At adidas, we believe sport belongs to all, and we have been committed and active in improving access and equity for our global community of footballers. As part of this commitment, on its journey around the world, Al Rihla will support local communities with activations designed to create lasting impact for grassroots and beyond,” Nick Craggs, General Manager of adidas Football said. “We are also proud to continue our work with Common Goal, with 1% of Al Rihla’s net sales supporting the movement, together using football as a vehicle to drive social change and meaningful impact for the lives of young people.”
The adidas Al Rihla is the first World Cup ball in the 92-year history of the tournament that will directly contribute to raising funds, impacting lives with 1% of Al Rihla’s net sales contributed going to the Common Goal movement.
The adidas Al Rihla is available now on adidas.com and select retailers.
