The official match ball for the 2022 Qatar World Cup has been released by Adidas.

It’s called the ‘Al Rihla’ – which is the Arabic word for the journey. It is inspired by the architecture, boats, and flag of the host nation Qatar.

The Al Rihla is the 14th successive ball that Adidas has created for the Fifa World Cup.

Adidas says that travels faster in flight than any ball in the tournament’s history.

Adidas said the new ball is the most environmentally friendly football ever having been designed from only water-based inks and glues.

It is also specially designed using coloured lines – so when it flies through the air it should stand out.
