Qatar World Cup: Al Rihla, a football inspired by the architecture, boats, and flag of Qatar". gulfnews.com . Retrieved 2022-11-20. It will help inform offside situations as well as assist in detecting unclear touches thereby ultimately improving the quality and speed of VAR decision-making process. It’s a mixture, a sweet spot that we were able to define it. Because we also wanted to reduce waste, so the yield of the new panels is also significantly lower compared to Telstar, which is good for our sustainability efforts. But then you also have to have the manufacturing part in mind. It needs to have an efficient and effective manufacturing process. Indro said the Indonesian government has worked hard in recent years to market Indonesian products to the world to rival regional peers such as Vietnam and China, and the World Cup is an important stage for Indonesia to show its wares. Al Rihla was the official FIFA World Cup 2022 ball. The name means ‘the journey’ in Arabic and the design has been inspired by the culture, architecture, iconic boats and flag of Qatar - the host nation.

First is its CRT-CORE, described as "the heart of the ball, providing speed, accuracy and consistency for fast-paced action and precision, with maximal shape and air retention, as well as rebound accuracy." Then there is the SPEEDSHELL, which is "a textured PU skin with a new 20-piece panel shape, improving the accuracy, flight stability and swerve thanks to macro- and microtextures, plus surface debossing."

Ignatius Indro, the head of the Indonesian National Team Supporters Association, said he is proud that an Indonesian product is achieving global recognition for its high quality. The Al Rihla balls are also the first World Cup ball made exclusively with water-based ink and glue, which are less harmful to the environment. It’s a nice and good ball. If you hit it hard, it feels light, but if you hit it soft it could feel heavy. When you hit the ball correctly it gets really good speed. A lot of other balls move quite a lot in the air, but this one doesn’t do anything crazy. It’s really hard on the surface, which I like because it’s easier to control. I’ve used other balls that feel more like a pillow, which can also be nice, but feel a little strange and more difficult to control. It is also a really nice ball to head and control or clear to a team-mate.” When calculating how much force moving air imparts on a moving object – called drag – physicists use a term called the drag coefficient. For a given speed, the higher the drag coefficient is, the more drag an object feels.

Aditya, Surya (2022-11-30). "Adidas Bantah Bola Resmi Piala Dunia 2022 Dibuat di Indonesia". Viva.co.id (in Indonesian) . Retrieved 2022-12-01.This new technology developed in close collaboration with FIFA and KINEXON, leaders in state-of-the-art sensor network and edge computing, enables the Video Match Officials to review live data for the first time by automatically providing very accurate information, 500 times per second, on when a player has touched the ball. Starting its journey in Qatar, Al Rihla will be unveiled alongside World Cup greats, Casillas and Kaka, and iconic players, Farah Jefry and Nouf Al Anzi. They will be joined on pitch by a diverse mix of talent featuring aspiring woman football players from Qatar, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and some young next generation players from Aspire academy.

The game is getting faster, and as it speeds up, accuracy and flight stability becomes critically important. The new design allows the ball to maintain its speed significantly higher as it journeys through the air . For the biggest global stage in all of sport, we set out to make the impossible, possible with radical innovation by creating the fastest and most accurate World Cup ball to-date,” said Franziska Loeffelmann, Design Director - Football Graphics & Hardwear, adidas. FL: The focus is that we really want to equip the players with the best gear. The game is getting so much faster, so we want to equip them with the best ball; one that has a really good flight and reliability. I think it is radically different, yes, but for good reason, that being that we really want it to be a part of the fast-paced action. With shots from close range, it’s vital the goalkeeper gets both hands behind the ball with support from the thumbs to help ease it softly into your grip. When we started using Al Rihla in April, it took a few training sessions for our goalkeepers to get used to its speed and power, leading to spills and errors from shots they normally handled with ease. Al Rihla translates as “the journey” in Arabic and has been inspired by the architecture, iconic boats, and the flag of Qatar. The launch will mark the start of Al Rihla's journey to 10 cities across the globe where adidas is creating a series of initiatives aimed at improving access and equity in sport amongst local communities. Ilham, 23, who like many Indonesians goes by one name, has been working at the factory for the past five months after struggling to find employment opportunities elsewhere.

The physics of drag

Small-sided game conclusion: Obstructions in front of the goalkeeper occasionally make it difficult to follow the trajectory of shots on target and catch up to the speed of Al Rihla. Al Rihla will debut on a specially created pitch at the launch event before being transported and donated to Challenge F.C., Saudi Arabia ’ s first ever women ’ s football league champions, to become a permanent fixture in Riyadh, delivering lasting impact for this team, who are currently without a permanent training facility. Connected ball technology comes to Al Rihla for sport’s biggest stage, providing the VAR team with precise ball data in real time to support fast and accurate offside calls

Shamaa, Mohammed (2022-12-04). "Prime minister hails 'made in Egypt' footballs for World Cup". Arab News . Retrieved 2022-12-18. The ball was also designed with the environment at its heart - all components have been carefully considered, and Al Rihla is the first World Cup ball made using only water-based inks and glues.We started right when France lifted the trophy in 2018, and it’s obviously been a long journey; a journey with highs and lows, but we really really liked it. Qatar played a really big part in terms of influence in the design. You can see from the design how the national flag influences it. In the speed graphic itself you can see the modern architecture. But also the iconic patterns have been an influence on the whole ball, but we really brought it to life, brought the energy, through the colours. The eight-panel Jabulani ball in the 2010 South Africa World Cup had textured panels to make up for shorter seams and a fewer number of panels. Despite Adidas’ efforts, the Jabulani was a controversial ball, with many players complaining that it decelerated abruptly. When my colleagues and I analyzed the ball in a wind tunnel, we found that the Jabulani was too smooth overall and so had a higher drag coefficient than the 2006 Teamgeist ball. FIFA and Qatar Airways partnered with SpaceX on a Falcon 9 mission. On Eutelsat Hotbird 13F mission (launched in October 2022), the first stage B1069.3 included a hosted promotional payload by FIFA, that was a box powered by Starlink containing 2 Adidas Al Rihla balls, that were to be used in 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Did that thinking about the past form a lot of the ideas when initially sketching out the project?
